Beaded Scarf II looks lovely knitted in both variegated and solid color yarns. The example to left is knitted in Helen's Lace from Lorna's Laces Yarns in the colorway Aslan; the beads are Miyuki silver-lined light amethyst. Full view

The example to right above is knitted in Sterling Silk and Silver by Kraemer Yarns in color natural; the beads are Miyuki silver-lined clear crystal. Knitted in the fingering weight yarn (rather than a lighter weight lace yarn), this relatively wide scarf looks and feels more like a narrow shoulder stole. This sample in solid color is an example of choosing beads for a tone-on-tone look, whereas the solid color sample above in the camel color used beads in a contrasting color.
