Beaded and Ruffled Scarves

[vhanna26]

Here's a beaded scarf I finished hast night. The pattern is from the latest issue of Simply Creative Crochet and designed by Lily Chin.

I used two and a half skeins of LB Chenille and over 600 pony beads. It was very easy to make, and my first beaded project. If you are curious about using beads, this is a great starter project.

I also made a ruffled scarf (http://www.livejournal.com/community/crochet/919068.html). I used one skein of Woolease in Winter white.

That beaded scarf is gorgeous!! Beautiful job!

[woolandflax]

Wow!! Great job on that beaded one, my mom's been wanting to try that pattern, I think I may have to get the beads and yarn for her and let her borrow my mag. Or I might just make it for her. Hmmm...I wonder if you could use a really big hook and laceweight yarn, a seed bead of some sort, if you could make more of a shawl using that pattern??? Anyone have an opinion???

[Catana]

Love the ruffled scarf. I've been thinking about trying the Lily Chin pattern, but without the beads.

[YaYa Yarnhood]

Wow, they are both very beautiful.

[sugalily]

Those are very cute and girlie!! :cheer

I don't know how thick/thin is the laceweight yarn, Rebecca but if you can string pony beads or size 8, 6 into that then it's ok....Looks like the fringe is chained beads. My only suggestion is when you add beads into the chain, it should be snug. I hope this helps.....:hook

Gorgeous Vera!! :D

[vhanna26]

Thanks for all of the compliements on the scarves:) .

I've already have the yarn and beads to try another Lily Chin scarf. This one is called Retro, and it's from the book Scarf Style (http://www.interweave.com/knit/books/Scarf_Style.asp) (which has mostly knitted, but several crocheted scarves, and Retro is one of the crocheted). I think it's very neat and classy.

I can't find a photo of it on the web just yet, but I'll post my pictures as soon as I'm done.

[Frangipani]

Love the beaded one! And what is that stitch!?!

[Oslofia]

That is really pretty :)

[charkitty]

The scarves are just beautiful. Great job! Do the beads make the scarf a little heavy?

I'm sure the pattern in the beaded scarf has a name, but I don't know what it is:think.

You can feel the weight of the beads in the scarf, but it isn't heavy.
