Kerchief was inspired from the sweet little botanically dyed skeins from fibre artist Bonnie Lefebvre of Raveled Sleave. I wanted a bandana or kerchief-sized shawl that could be doubled-over for extra layers, tied around my head or wrapped around my neck for an extra layer of warmth without the added bulk of larger scarves and shawls. This is a fabulous pattern to showcase some favourite single skeins or to destash.

NOTES

• For pattern support, please email wolfandfaunknits@gmail.com 

• For jogless stripes, consider using this technique from Stephen West or another preferred jogless stripe technique.
• I used a 60 cm / 24” circular for my magic loop, and as stitches increased, I transitioned away from the magic loop and into the standard working in the round. If you select a longer circular needle length, you may or may have to continue the magic loop method. 

• Gauge and tension will affect the yardage of the yarn. Due to variations in personal knitting, and to avoid a game of yarn chicken, I recommend gathering more than enough yarn to complete the project in case you end up needing slightly more. I typically make sure I have 10% more yarn than the pattern calls for to make up for waste yarn or needing more due to my personal gauge and tension.
