Although this design suggests separate motifs that are joined together, it is knitted in a single piece. The geometric circle-in a-square motif forms a diamond, which brings to my mind a large diamond solitaire engagement ring. The squares are worked from tip to tip in diamond formation, and the sides are framed by a modified half-square and half-circle. This geometric pattern is completely reversible and requires just one skein of yarn. For a longer scarf, double the yardage and number of row repeats; for a beautiful wrap, double the yardage and number of stitches per row. With four skeins, you could double both the width and length for a luxurious shawl.
