I whipped up this easy little kerchief over one weekend after a new batch of Mochi Plus came into the shop. I knew I wanted to make a small triangle striped with two contrasting colorways of the Mochi Plus. My eye was immediately drawn to one colorway that looked like metal, earth and fire and then another that looked like the art deco colors of southern Florida. Putting them together made a striped palate that looks like the Painted Desert at sunset. As I live in the Catskills of the Northeast, this little slice of Arizona is the closest I will get to the beauty of the Painted Desert for some time.
