Take It Easy with the Bessie Scarf
Sometimes you just need a little something to occupy your hands that will make a cute and wearable accessory when you’re done.
Enter the Bessie Scarf by Gavriella Treminio , a bias knit garter stitch and eyelet scarf that’s a perfect relatively mindless project.
It’s worked from one of the long ends, so you can make it with a single skein of DK weight yarn (or use another yarn weight if you’d rather) and make it as wide as you want or have yarn available for.
The edges use slipped stitches for a nice clean edge.
This is a great piece to make with one of those special vacation skeins of yarn that you buy because you’re at a local yarn shop and you don’t know what to do with it when you get home. You have those, right?
It makes a lightweight scarf that you can add to an outfit any time of year, and it comes with a bit of history.
Bessie is named for Bessie Coleman, who was the first Black and Native American woman aviator in the United States. She was known for her flying tricks and she encouraged women and Blacks to reach for their dreams. What a lovely legacy and person to reflect on while you knit.
I love a good eyelet pattern, and little holes can be really effective as a way to add a pattern to an otherwise simple project. Here are a few more eyelet projects for you to try.
Many years ago I actually shared a couple more patterns that include eyelets and bias knitting (who knew there were so many?).
The Zeffira top uses eyelets as a design element that starts with dense diamonds at the bottom and fades to single eyelets toward to top. Or try to Lovell top, which has allover eyelets. Both are great projects for spring and summer!

Can anyone help me get the pattern for the Lisa Lloyd breast cancer socks. I followed the link on you web page but it does not go anywhere – it appears that her website is shut down. I am anxious to get the pattern as I want to knit 3 pair of these socks – 1 being for an 8 year survivor of breast cancer (my sister-in-law), 1 for a sister in law who is currently having chemo after a double mastectomy – a the 3rd pair for another sister in law who walks in the breast cancer walk every year. Please help – I would really appreciate the pattern.

Hi Carolyn,
If the link is broken, then I’m sorry, I have no other avenues for you. I’ve looked for them before, a number of people have contacted me to get this pattern. Here are some links for ideas for you:

Sorry I couldn’t help.
