Leafy uses simple wrap-and-turn short rows to create a contrasting series of leaf shapes along the kerchief’s edges. This design also combines bias- and top-down triangle shawl constructions for an easy but interesting project—plus a neat i-cord bindoff

This project requires a few more materials than the others for the 2025 series: it’s a smaller kerchief, so you can add a button in case tying the ends isn’t workable.

Materials:

• About 166 yds of MC and 40 yds CC sportwieght yarn; sample shown in Paton’s Kroy Socks in Taupe (MC) and Cascade Colors (CC)
• 1 24”circular needle in US4-5/3.5-3.75mm, or size needed for gauge, used to work flat.
• Removable stitch marker
• Tapestry needle
• Button (1” or preferred size; the button loop is knit to suit), optional

Gauge:
Gauge is 20 sts and 40 rows over 4”/10cm of garter stitch, worked flat and blocked.
