Buoy Kerchief

$6.00

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 is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link. If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.

This pattern is part of the Water’s Edge mini collection. Other patterns in this collection are: On the Ocean pullover and Tideline Tank. Interested in all three patterns and receiving a discounted collection price? Click here.
