Scarf with lace edge knitting pattern "Poesia"

“Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. ” - Plutarch

Poesia is a lightweight scarf, knitted on the bias, starting and ending with only few stitches. It is the perfect project to showcase that colorful sock yarn, but will work in a solid color as well. Worked mostly in stockinette stitch, it has some lace ridges on the side to gain interest.
