What was your inspiration?

I envisioned a design of ethereal fairies that would combine textured stitches and beads. For the fairies, a cable twist and eyelets define the body and wings, while a bead (placed with the crochet hook method) represents the head.

What are you most proud of?

This scarf is knit end-to-end in one piece. There is no sewing or grafting.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
