The second block for June is our colorwork square. This square features a stitch pattern often referred to as the 'larksfoot stitch'. I love the pattern it creates with contrasting colors. Similar in characteristics as June's first block, it is a lacey block that would work great for wraps, scarves, skirts, or tops. It would not however be a good choice for something like a potholder where you want it thick and dense. Below you can see how it turned out in the Endless Oasis Infinity Scarf.
