Spring Fiesta
Simple is the word for spring and summer. Spring Fiesta is a simple knit with just enough beads to dress up but not overwhelm. Enjoy your spring and summer but do it with something lacy (and knitted!)
Spring is always welcome and we want to celebrate with style. Fiesta Spring is a side-to-side construction shawl/scarf. A simple lace design with incorporated bead accents makes this a perfect spring or summer accessory.
Spring Fiesta developed when I wanted to make a side to side crescent and most of them that I found were all in garter stitch. Fearing boredom and an unfinished work in progress I got out my stitch books and created Spring Fiesta! A simple design with a linear look this could be your go-to scarf for all occasions.
Fiesta Spring is 58 inches long and 15 inches deep at the center back.
Use a hand painted yarn with a subtle bead selection or use a bead that pops lots of color and attention either one works with this design.
