There’s nothing like sharing a beach blanket with your favorite person, the sun shining down on both of your faces. This pattern is dedicated to my favorite person.

The Ashtan Kerchief is a quick, instant gratification project that will have you looking chic in the warmer months. It comes in two sizes, Adult Small and Large, but can easily be modified to fit any smaller, larger or half size. It is worked in fingering weight, and can be made either that way or by holding two strands of non-mohair lace weight double.

Techniques: magic ring, changing colors for stripes, chain, double crochet, bead stitch, dc decrease clusters, half double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch
