monk's belt

I finished another scarf. The pattern on this one is called Monk's belt. It's a simple form of overshot, presumably named because you have two sets of thread. One makes a plain weave, and the other makes a pattern over the plain weave. It takes about twice as long (two threads, same length) but my understanding is this is an uncommon technique in commercially manufactured fabric.

I noticed it at church last night. It turned out really nicely!
