The Lokken Kerchief is a small shawl comprised of blocks and stripes created by modular garter stitch, knit on the bias. It was inspired by woven textiles. You won’t need to call upon any colorwork techniques for your Kerchief as all of the patterning is created through stripes and color-blocking.

The original version of the Lokken Kerchief, as published in Knitscene Accessories 2012, was written for one skein of self-striping yarn. By knitting your kerchief this way the yarn does all the work. For this edition of the pattern, in addition to the original self-striping yarn instructions, I have updated the Lokken Kerchief to include written instructions for using three colors of yarn as well. There are coloring pages included for each version to help you plan your color palette and color placement. You’ll never be working with two yarns at once, though you will be picking up stitches and weaving in a “few” ends.
