We’re mad for plaid! Light and shadow work together with color changes to create this iconic plaid pattern. Knit garter-stitch stripes, basic brioche stitches, and a simple slipped-stitch (mosaic) pattern. Delightful!

About 16” deep and 42” long from tip to tip.

(Note that the pink (scarf), olive (a triangle shawl) and the red (cowl) designs were worked in slightly different plaid patterns than we’re using here in the kerchief. These other designs are separate patterns, and are shown here just to show other color possibilities. Shawl and cowl coming soon!)
