Homage Kerchief

When your favourite yarn is discontinued or your most-loved indie yarn dyer ceases trading, you might have a little bit of that special yarn left that you don’t quite know what to do with it. 

Express your admiration for that yarny “work of art”, by knitting it into a Homage Kerchief. Wear it like a chic neckerchief or wrap it around your neck twice for a cosier look: either way you’ll be paying homage to your precious yarn, whilst looking super stylish!

CONSTRUCTION

The Homage Kerchief is knitted top down in stripes of 4 rows deep. It features a clean rolled edge in which to hide the colour changes, with eyelets worked when changing colour to keep everything neat and reversible.
