When I knit scarves I want them to either be the same on both sides or at least be good looking on both sides, so I am always on the lookout for knit/purl motifs with a little textural interest that fit these criteria. This geometric motif fills those requirements and is easy to knit, which is also something I like in a scarf project. The resulting motif looked similar to piles or stacks of books, so I called this Bocastreon which is Old English for “library.”
