Crowned Glory Scarf #2

Ok, I’ve fallen in love with this scarf pattern.  I found a few pictures of this scarf on Ravelry where it was knitted using a longer colorway yarn.  I fell in love and decided I had to knit another scarf.

I found this yarn -

and started to knit it up.

One reason I like this scarf so much is the construction.  You begin by casting on 3 stitches!!

With those three stitches, you build a triangle, then build another and another, etc.  Then you end up coming back and adding the diamonds.  All I can say is Iris Schreier is a genius!

I’ve got my yarn for scarf #3!!  I can’t wait to find the time to do this one again.
