Fiesta Free Scarf Pattern and Yarn Giveaway

We’re partnering with Fiesta over the next few months to provide you with a wonderful free pattern designed specifically for one of Fiesta’s yarns. This month, they’ve paired Fiesta Rayon Boucle with the Rayon Boucle Neck Warmer pattern.

This fairly simple scarf is knit in stockinette stitch until you reach the required length then work the ruffle end. Once you finish, you stitch together a few stitches at the opposite end to create a loop to pass the ruffle through.

You can wrap the scarf more than once as we have in our image, or you can let it hang so it’s longer. You could even leave it without the loop at the end and have a lovely scarf.

The featured color is Fiesta Rayon Boucle in wind surfer. This is a great, beachy color that reminds me of summer. We have several other colors of the yarn available too.

Would you like to knit this scarf? We’re giving away a hank of Fiesta Rayon Boucle in wind surfer. Just leave one (and only one) comment with your favorite beach activity and one winner will be chosen at random. Make sure that when you comment you include your email address so that we can contact you if you’re the lucky winner! Leave your comment by Friday, June 22, 2012 at 8:00am. We’ll announce the winner Friday morning here on the blog.

    Strolling along and picking up starfish, sand dollars, shells, rocks, and all sorts of treasures.  Especially prized are the conch egg cases I find at Cape beaches such as Popponesset.  It’s such fun to break one open for children and watch the amazement when they see all the tiny conch shells.

    My favorite beach activity is KNITTING! I sit under the umbrella and watch everyone play in the water, look for dolphins and just soak up the sights and smells while I knit away in my chair. I go out and search for shells now and then, and get wet to cool off, then go back and do a few more rows! LOVE IT! So relaxing.
