Summer Camp Kerchief

Who's ready for a Wes Anderson-esque summer? This little neckerchief can be styled in so many fun ways to complete any summer outfit and maybe help keep the rays off of your neck on those sunny days. I made mine out of silk for a nice cooling feel around my neck. Grab your favourite warm-weather fibre and knit up one for yourself (and maybe one for a friend too!) ************************************************************************** CONSTRUCTION - This small triangle-shaped neckerchief is started with a garter tab, located at the top centre. From there you will make increases using M1's and YO's to create the shaping and continue knitting top-down. Eyelet details are scattered throughout and it is then finished with a twisted rib. There are three different versions of eyelet patterns. Make one, or make them all! TECHNIQUES TO TRY - Garter tab cast on, M1's and YO's, left-leaning and right-leaning eyelets, twisted rib. SIZES - One size (this can easily be modified by knitting more or less, depending on your preferred measurements). FINISHED MEASUREMENTS - Wingspan: 35" [89 cm] Depth: 12.5" [32 cm] GAUGE - Stockinette stitch: 17 stitches by 36 rows in 4” [10 cm] using US size 4 [3.5 mm] needles, knit flat, measured after blocking. YARN - Any fingering weight yarn. Warm weather fibres such as cotton, linen or silk would be best.
