How to Do It
Foundation Begin

Main Section Work
Work the main stitch pattern evenly across each row, increasing to keep the triangle shape neat and balanced. Repeat until scarf is desired depth.
Change Size
Try it against your head, work it. Stop when you achieve the amount of coverage you want, whether you prefer a smaller kerchief or a fuller headscarf.
Get in or Get Out
When the triangle is the correct size, add the ties at the ends to secure comfortably behind the head.
Fill in the edges
Work around the edges cleaning up and adding the decorative finish. This makes the scarf look more complete.
Tips for Help

- If it helps you to keep the shape even, use stitch markers at the ends.
