"Poesia" practically knits itself. It’s a scarf that is knitted diagonally, mostly in stockinette stitch, except for a small lace-pattern border that doesn’t require any advanced skill and is really easy.
For one scarf, you need one ball of sock yarn (preferably a gradient yarn so the diagonal patterning really stands out) and 3.5 mm knitting needles. Possibly also a stitch marker, so you don’t have to pay attention anymore.
The width can be varied as you like; you can also make it into a wider shoulder shawl, though in that case you should plan for more yarn.

You can find the pattern here.
