Pattern notes
This triangular kerchief is knitted from long edge to tip, with a steek to enable working in the round. Stitches are decreased at an even rate along each side of the triangle and, after the final stitch is bound off and the steek secured and cut open, a garter stitch and i-cord edging is worked along each edge. I-cord ties enable the kerchief to be secured around the head or neck, and the steek can be finished with a ribbon facing, if desired.
