Røllike Kerchief
Little lightweight kerchief with an all over lace flower motif and garter edges.
The kerchief is knit from the point up increasing on both sides and on each row for a longer and more shallow triangular shape. Once the main part of the shawl has been knit a garter edge is then added to the sides.
The little flowers on the kerchief are inspired by the Yarrow (Røllike in Danish) with it’s many little flowers sitting close together.
Knitted up with a soft light Cashmere it is perfect to wear close to the neck but you could also play around with the gauge and knit a bigger shawl. E.g. for a larger shawl just pick a thicker yarn and needles to match the yarn.
