Punch and Judy

A bold pattern of solid diamonds alternating with openwork ones keeps the eye bouncing along this cheery scarf. Knit it up in a soft, bright colorway for fun, or choose a darker, springier yarn for a sleek, elegant effect. The easy-to-learn motif has simple lace knitting on RS rows only, making this a great project for knitting along at sporting events.
