The Graffiti Kerchief is a remarkably easy scarf that uses simple, single crochet with artfully placed surface slip stitches to create a visually stimulating piece. The classic triangular shaping is accomplished via a magic circle and well-placed increased stitches. However, after just a few pattern repeats, beginners can put away the pattern and crochet mindlessly as the garment grows. Much like a beautiful urban cityscape, the beautiful colors of the Farmer’s Daughters Yarn shines in every stitch. Adding the surface stitches adds the final painter’s touch.
