Notes from the Designer:

Flamenco is an elegant, beaded scarf that’s bordered on one side by a ruffle. I was inspired by the fanciful and free movement of the skirts of flamenco dancers. The piece is knit lengthwise, starting with the ruffled edge. The main body uses alternating sections of Stockinette Stitch and Garter Stitch. The beads are worked on slipped stitches. This piece is the perfect canvas for the knitter to add their own creativity, by their choice of yarn color and bead color. Worked in a vivid color, this scarf promises to add pizzaz to any outfit; knit in a neutral, it would be an elegant addition to your wardrobe.

• Don't be dismayed by the number of cast-on stitches. You’ll decrease to 320 stitches before knitting the Main Section of the scarf. This is how the ruffle is created.
• This scarf can easily be made wider by simply working more repeats of the Main Body Section. However, be sure to end with a Garter Stitch Section before binding off. This will prevent the bind-off edge from rolling.
• Don't stress about the number of stitches after the ruffle decrease. If you end up with a few more or a few fewer than 320 stitches, don’t rip it out! When you get to a beaded row, simply make sure that you place the beads with two stitches in between each one. As long as the beads are evenly spaced, it will be fine.

Happy knitting!
