This is a fun scarf to knit. There is a lacey stitch on the outer edge of a mitered square and in the opposite corner from the lace is a smaller square in a different color. This is all done in garter stitch, so that both right and wrong sides look very similar. I alternated the squares with the contrasting color with plain squares, but you could put them in every square or make up your own design for placing the contrasting color squares. The fringe is optional, but I think it just finishes the scarf.
I used a single strand of fingering weight yarn for the contrasting color and it worked fine.
