The Anything-Goes Hanky is a lovely accessory that pays tribute to a piece of queer textile culture: The Hanky Code! A neckkerchief you would put into the pockets of your pants to give others hints about your specific…interests.

This pattern provides you with a basic framework for how the piece is constructed and then gives you numerous options to truly make it your own. Written instructions and charts guide you through the different textures you can add to this neckscarf.

It is worked from the bottom up flat with the increases and decreases placed in such a way that it folds itself conveniently hiding the wrong side of the work so you can also go all out with colourwork if you so chose.
