This is a very simple fairytale kerchief crochet pattern in a beginner friendly ‘granny’ stitch. Unleash your inner fairytale heroine, picking berries in the forrest. Or perhaps just use it as a headscarf when slouching about the house to keep your hair off your face. It makes a cute bandana.

Materials.
The samples shown are made using exactly 1 ball each of Drops Paris worsted weight cotton yarn (75 meters). You will also need a darning needle, and an optional hair elastic. To match gauge, you will need to use an equivalent weight yarn. However, gauge is not critical to this pattern. Try it out in any weight yarn, and work until you have the right number of rows.

Size
This kerchief can be made to any size by adding or removing rows. Row counts are given for child and adult sizes for those matching gauge. This pattern is not recommended for babies under 3 due to risk of strangulation.
