String of Pearls comes in both a mini-length and a full-length version. The scarf uses a surprisingly small amount of yarn: the full-length version requires just two balls of Yak Lace, and if you plan your colours carefully, you can even make two mini scarves from two balls of Yak Lace!
Worked in Yak Lace, the crochet fabric is crisp and soft with a moderate drape, making it perfect for scarves. I especially love the simple yet delicate border created with Reverse Puff Stitches. I’ve also prepared a little video tutorial in case you’re not familiar with the technique.
