Stitches are decreased at an even rate along each side of the triangle and, after the final stitch is bound off and the steek secured and cut open, a garter stitch and i-cord edging is worked along each edge. I-cord ties enable the kerchief to be secured around the head or neck, and the steek can be finished with a ribbon facing, if desired.
