Gauge
18 sts and 24 rows to 10cm / 4in over stockinette worked back and forth.
Use 4mm needle as a starting point for swatching. Although it is not vital to match gauge precisely on this pattern, if your gauge is too loose, you will use more yarn (and likewise will use less yarn if your gauge is too tight). 


Pattern Notes
Beginning with a garter-tab cast on, this colourful kerchief features the simple, undulating Minke pattern, and is worked top-down. Charts are read from right to left on right side rows, and from left to right on wrong side rows. Both sides of the neckerchief are charted here, together with the edging and centre stitches, to make visualising construction straightforward.
