Beaded Crescent Neck Lace KAL

simply beautiful — lace for your neck

Adorn your neckline with a crescent of color and beads. Let’s kick off the October KAL! I’m excited to let you know that you can get your free pattern today for Beaded Crescent Neck Lace, a simple and beautiful lace design to adorn your neckline.

Beaded Crescent Neck Lace

Wear it all by itself as a little neck scarf, or add a clasp and wear as a necklace – your choice. The weight of the beads adds just enough body to the fabric to stay in place.

To knit the project, choose a neck-caressing yarn in pretty colors to sing in accompaniment to the sparkle of beads. You’ll start with the elegant beaded loops lace edging, fill in the crescent with simple garter stitch short rows, then work a beaded bind off for the upper neckline.

Note: Sample shown here was knit in Crystal Palace’s Panda Silk yarn in color #127 Very Berry and Miyuki beads color #451 Hematite (a.k.a gunmetal).

Please feel free to choose whatever colors you want/like, but do check the pattern cover page specifications for yarn weight/yardages and bead sizes/quantity.
