*This may be a particularly quirky choice of hook for most people, as the stitches are not that small. I found this a good size because of the beads, and worked rather loosely. You may need a bigger hook for this gauge and I do encourage matching this gauge, as a smaller scarf might look skimpy. I used exactly the whole skein, with only a few feet left over.

STITCHING TIP:

1) Don’t attempt to pull beads through your loops, but rather let them fall to back of the work.

2) To avoid a large loop when skipping several stitches, as in Row 2, bring the work close to where you insert hook after skipped stitches.
