Mexican Diamonds Scarf

I really love traditional Mexican textiles, including woven fabrics, embroidery and crewel work and for a long time I have wanted to design a project using a repeated diamond pattern like those found on rugs and wraps from Mexico in particular. I have designed a flower motif to sit at the centre of this design to echo floral embroidery; I think the use of surface crochet enhances the idea of hand stitching and I am particularly pleased with the flowers sitting on the edge of the scarf to give it a really unusual border. I really enjoyed designing this project and hope you will enjoy making it too!
