The inspiration for the My Basic Neckerchief comes from a rainy summer evening, while my daughter was having a nap I decided to cast on something easy and the idea for this neckerchief suddenly flooded my head, it was clear what it had to be!
All my patterns are made with second hand yarn resourced from charity shops and I invite you to try and do the same if you’d like.
