Cascading Diamonds
Try out all three versions: graphics rich tablet edition, streamlined smart phone edition, and the single page printable edition.
Cascading Diamonds is the epitome of playful versatility by knitwear collaboration grtr. This innovative design holds appeal for every palate. Bold and vibrant colors like Katia Merino are striking and captivate attention. Artistic fiber blends like Noro Silk Garden Lite are perfectly showcased with a solid neutral border like Rowan Tweed.
Cascading Diamonds is a fantastic introduction to garter intarsia without overwhelming color work. The trick to garter intarsia is making sure to lay the yarn you are dropping over the yarn you are picking up while keeping the non-working yarn on the wrong side of the work. This tutorial is essential.
Based on a simple pattern repeat, this beautiful design can be wrapped thrice around the neck for warmth and a bulky look or it can hang loosly on the shoulders painting the wind with color. However you decided to wear it, Cascading Diamonds will be a go to scarf for years to come.
