Cassie’s summery kerchief is a playful exploration of color, pattern, and texture. Worked in the round from the center out, Penny Candy makes for an engaging practice in colorwork that knitters of all levels will enjoy. Knitted up in our organic cotton, Willet, in colors Polaris, Oar, and Rudder, this design highlights the beautiful contrast between saturated hues; although, we think this pattern would be just as captivating in a muted palette. Wear this sweet kerchief in your hair, or pair with a favorite pin to wear it around your shoulders.

Sample shown is tacked in place to wrap on head.
