This kerchief is created in two parts. First, you will crochet a striped mesh base. Next, you will fill in the mesh with simple weaving techniques to create the plaid pattern. This is one of those “easier than it looks” patterns and is great for building upon beginner crochet skills! Wear it as triangle scarf, head scarf, bandana, girl scout-style kerchief… the options are endless!
