The Alyssum Kerchief is inspired by its namesake flower, a beautiful garden annual with fragrant blooms.

Roositud, an Estonian inlay technique, forms the floral motifs as you knit the piece. Construction is sideways, with the motif centered in the scarf.

This little kerchief is the perfect mid-season accessory, used a scarf, a head band, or even tied to the strap of a bag. I use my sample as a headband to keep my hair out of my eyes when I work in the garden.
