Our last free pattern feature from Fiesta is the La Boheme Neck Warmer. Knit in Fiesta Starburst La Boheme, this neck warmer adds color and sparkle to your accessory collection.

Fiesta Starburst La Boheme blends rayon, brushed kid mohair, wool, nylon, and metallic. The different fibers blend to create a fiber with a sheen, mohair haze, and sparkle all in one. It is dyed in Fiesta’s great color combinations.

The asymmetrical design created by buttoning is a great look and functional keeping this scarf around your neck. Your neck is sure to stay toasty on the chilliest of days with this warmer.

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.
