Note: 1 ball makes a kerchief of the following dimensions: 50 cm height (20") - 2 x 65 cm edges ( 2 x 26") - 85 cm length (33-1/2"). Use 2 balls to make a larger kerchief. Close-up »

Instructions: Cast on 6 sts. 1st row: K edge sts, K1, P2, K1, K edge sts. 2nd row: P edge sts, P1, K2, P1, P edge sts. Put marker in the center, between two P sts on RS. Knit 60 rows in pattern increasing 2 stitches every row: Make 2 stitches from the 2nd stitch at the beginning and 2 stitches from the 2nd stitch at the end of the row.
Row 61, facing RS: Knit in pattern until you reach 2 center P stitches (a marker is between them). Continue center increase as follows: make 2P sts from the first P stitch, then make K2 using yarn in between, and again make 2P sts from the second P stitch. Continue in pattern. Knit 7 more rows.

When ball of the yarn is fully used, attach a strand of an Aran weight yarn in a similar colour (e.g. Cascade Cantata or similar) and continue in pattern to finish the last RS row. Facing WS and using a 4.5 mm crochet hook - loosely cast off all sts at once. Gently and loosely block kerchief with pins on a piece of fabric for 2-3 days to achieve a correct shape. Note: we would not recommend the use of a shawl blocking frame since angora stretches easily and can be deformed on the frame.
Care: Hand wash in lukewarm water with woolwash no rinse: do not wring out, make a ball instead and gently squeeze in soapy water. Dry flat in shade, away from heat or direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. No iron.
