Quincunx scarf
Inspired by a trip last year to Mexico City - the beautiful jacaranda trees and carvings of flowers at the Teotihuacan pyramids - I created the Quincunx Scarf. Simple in design, but elegant to wear, the scarf can be knit by beginners and seasoned knitters alike. Use a variegated yarn or experiment with stash yarn to make beautiful blossoms of your own.
