Tumbling Blocks

I like the tumbling blocks pattern. I like the optical illusion of three-dimensional shapes when it's really only two-dimensional. I've tatted a version, using Jane Eborall's diamond pattern, and worked it in beaded knitting. So when I saw a scarf that creates tumbling blocks using knit and purl stitches on Pinterest, I saved it. I had a couple of balls of cotton/silk left over from my gilet, so I followed a series of links and downloaded the pattern. You can follow the trail from here. The Papyrus yarn is good for the task because it shows up stitches well. Oh, and I really like that the fabric is the same on both sides - I think a scarf should be reversible.
