Head Kerchiefs 3
I made up a set of head scarves for a class I am teaching. I wanted people to be able to experiment with lace, cables, and textures while they learned a few ways to do edges and increases. I am very pleased with how these turned out.
There is a lace one, one using “walking stitches” and one with a simple celtic knot cabled into a purled background. They all start at the point and feature knit in ties. The edges have very little roll. I use a couple of different increases throughout both for effect and variety.
They can easily be made for just about any head size. Just stop 1 1/2 to 2 inches short of the head circumference before making the ties. I do suggest a firm yarn with no stretch so that the scarf does not “grow” on you, like a cotton or linen, though some of the testers used softer yarns that seemed to work fine.
I want to thank the wonderful people who chose to test knit this pattern. Your comments and suggestions were invaluable, even if I did not incorporate everything.
