A pattern of colored diamond shapes, traditionally used in Scottish textiles; a knitted garment featuring this pattern, especially socks or sweaters.
Named after Argyll (also spelled Argyle), a county in southwestern Scotland. The pattern was associated with Campbell clan tartan and Highland dress traditions.
The argyll pattern is so distinctly Scottish that it's become a symbol of Highland heritage, yet most people know it as a fashion statement rather than as a reference to a specific Scottish region with centuries of history.
