Last week we spent a lot of time looking at projects for Valentine's Day, but there's another fun holiday coming up later this month: Mardi Gras. You might not think about knitting something for Mardi Gras, but I have this cute, easy Knit Bead Necklace that, while it doesn't quite have the flash of the original Mardi Gras beads, is still a fun project and something you can actually wear throughout the year.

White.I made mine in purple but you can choose from any of the traditional Mardi Gras colors (that would include green and gold) or knit yours in any color you like for a project you can still wear on Ash Wednesday and beyond.
These are also a great quick little project to enhance your kid's stash of dress-up clothes; they're easy to pull over your head but aren't hard because they're knit. If making for a really small child you might want to use stuffing in the bead holes rather than actual big wooden beads.
