PATONS COZY STRIPED KERCHIEF

Creating a cozy striped kerchief using Patons yarn is a lovely project that results in a stylish and functional accessory. Here’s a basic pattern to get you started:

Materials:

• Patons yarn (any weight and color of your choice)
• Crochet hook suitable for your yarn weight
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Start by making a slip knot and chaining 4 stitches.
2. In the second chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet. Make 1 double crochet in each of the next 2 chains.
3. Chain 2 and turn your work.
4. Make 1 double crochet in each of the next 3 stitches.
5. Repeat step 4 until your kerchief reaches the desired width. The number of rows will depend on your preference and the size you want the kerchief to be. A typical width is around 4-6 inches.
6. Once you’re satisfied with the width, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in the ends.
7. Change to a new color of Patons yarn, if desired, by joining it with a slip stitch in any corner stitch of the kerchief.
8. Chain 2 and turn your work.
9. Make 1 double crochet in each stitch across the row.
10. Repeat step 9 for each row until your kerchief reaches the desired length. You can create stripes by changing colors every few rows or continue with the same color for a solid design. A typical length is around 30-40 inches.
11. Once you’re satisfied with the length, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in the ends.
12. Weave in any loose ends with the yarn needle.
13. Your Patons cozy striped kerchief is now complete!
