The Garden Kerchief is the perfect accessory for the Summer. I used a 100% Organic Cotton yarn that is light and airy. You can substitute any fingering weight yarn but pay attention to gauge. Since I used a cotton yarn, I didn’t need to block it. If using a super-wash, lightly block your finished swatch for an accurate result.

This kerchief is worked from the bottom up and is one piece.
It’s customizable in height and width simply by adding or subtracting rows. Make sure to follow instructions for how the last row is worked when you add extra rows.
