Infinity Scarf:  10 mm straight needles   1 50 gram ball of Baby Weight Yarn
If you should want to add seed beads to your work then you will require a small bag of #8 seed beads.

Cast on 50 sts and work in stocking stitch (1 row knit, 1 row purl) until work is 72". 
Add the seed beads every 10th row.  
The first row that you add the beads to knit 5 sts, add bead, knit 10sts add bead to end of row.
The second row that you add beads to (row 20) knit 10sts, add bead, knit 10 sts, add bead to end of row.

Add beads by putting needle and thread through bead (make sure that you hold onto the thread), then around one side of the stitch on the needle that  you are adding the bead to, then back through the bead. Using the two ends of the thread, gently pull the yarn through the bead.
