Winged Hair Kerchief Pattern

I'm reposting this and publishing the pattern on Ravelry. This is a very simple crocheted hair kerchief done in a half-granny motif with decorative edging. You can use any size yarn and any hook: just keep up the pattern repeat until it's the desired size.

Copyright: This pattern is owned by me. You cannot sell it. Selling of finished kerchief online is also prohibited as I make and sell these as part of my livelihood. Thanks.

Yarn used:
Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn

Hook size:
K (6.5mm hook)

Gauge:
Not Important

Stitches used:
Chain (ch)
Single Crochet (sc)
Double crochet (dc)
Bullion (B): y/o 9 times, insert hook into stitch, draw loop through stitch. You now have ten loops on the hook. Y/o again and draw loops through the previous ten.

Shell:

3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc in one space.


Start (Row 1):
Ch 6. 2 dc in third ch (ch3 counts as first dc). Ch 1, skip second ch and 3 dc into first ch. Turn.

[At this point you can add or decrease the number of rows to ensure a proper fit. Keep in mind that the edging adds about an inch and a half.]

Join yarn in one corner and ch about 40 (or however long you’d like your straps to be). Sc in second chain from hook and continue across. Fasten off at corner and weave in end. Repeat on other side.

Winged Hair Kerchief

I got bored with regular kerchiefs so I added buillion stitches and shells along the edge. I like it!! Especially since it's bright orange. Bright colours, YUM!

I am in a good mood because my mum is home! YAY!!!! She's fine. I am so happy! She's taking a week or more off and I think we're gonna use the time to get her to rest and to look for a house. It should be fun.
