Absolutely cute and a joy to knit.
It’s a super fast pattern ideal for gift knitting, to destash some fingering weight yarn or just to have fun!

Leafkerchief is a super pretty sister pattern to Leaflette.
If you already have Leaflette in your library, Leafkerchief will cost less! Or if you add both to your cart now. They both will cost just $9!

Size
Kerchief or headband: approx. 92 cm/36.25” long and 19 cm/7. 5” wide at center.

Yarn
1 skein of Merlen by Cecily Grove Yarns (90% merino, 10% linen; 360m/394y per 100g). Shown in colorway Son of the Blue Sky.
or approx. 144m/158y of any other fingering yarn which gives you the correct gauge.

Needles
3.25 mm/US #3 circular needle (40 cm/16” long) or straight, or size needed for gauge.

Other
tapestry needle for weaving

Gauge
25 sts and 32 rows = 10 cm/4” in pattern, measured flat after wet blocking. One pattern repeat (14 sts x 16 rows) measures approx. 5.5 cm/2.25” wide by 5 cm/2” tall.

The gauge is not crucial on this project. Differences will affect the finished size as well as the required yardage, so I recommend adjusting the needle size as necessary. Otherwise, make sure to have more yarn on hand.
