Buoy Kerchief

Buoy Kerchief is a top-down triangle kerchief inspired by the colorful lobster buoys found along the Maine coast. It features simple garter stitch, bold stripes, a slip stitch edge and interesting shaping techniques. It's both simple enough to be relaxing but engaging enough to keep your attention! I used Berroco Pima 100 (a 100% cotton) so it would work well as a Summer accessory, and just 1 skein of each of the 2 colors. And although I designed this piece in such a way to work especially well for cotton yarn, you can definitely substitute for wool or any other fiber you like! > This pattern is part of my *[Water's > Edge mini collection][1]*.
