When this amazing beaded silk yarn arrived at the store, we wracked our brains (after picking our chins up off the floor) to find the perfect pattern to showcase the beautiful texture and sheen.

This classic Lace Leaf pattern is a lovely configuration of branching lace and stockinette. The rich color and luxurious feel of this yarn and the addition of sparkly beads knit up into a sweet scarf with depth and a lovely, drapey texture.

Liz knit this beauty in one night, using a single skein!

This scarf is the perfect easy, quick-knit holiday gift.

Have fun and happy holidays! Leah
