This cute triangular headkerchief is a fun and feminine alternative to the ubiquitous beanie. It fits like a hat but works better for voluminous hair and showing off long hairstyles. It can be worn in a variety of ways and can even double as a cowl. It is worked from the ribbed band to the point, then i-cord edging is added to prevent rolling. The pattern is fairly easy and suitable for beginners. The pretty lace is charted only.

One size fits most adults (56-61 cm/22-24” head circumference).
