The Pressed Flowers Kerchief by Amy Christoffers is an easy, satisfying knit. The little flowers take shape along the edge as you work the slipped-stitch mosaic pattern, and before long you have an adorable shawlette.
It folds up small enough to keep in your bag for a cool mornings or when sitting in heavily air conditioned rooms. Tie it loosely at the neck or tuck it into a cardigan with just a few flowers peeking out. It knits up quickly enough to make as a last-minute gift, too.
This kit pairs two 50 g skeins of our Cushy DK. The sample is knitted in Char and Pink Salt, with soft pink flowers that stand out against the deep charcoal background. The sample was knit exactly to pattern, however there was enough yardage left to make the kerchief larger by adding an extra repeat or two.
Why we love it
The little flowers and flecks of contrast colour make this shawlette as lovely to look at as it is easy to wear. Tie it over a plain tee to show off the floral border, or tuck it into a jacket for a little warmth without the bulk of a full scarf. It’s the kind of knit you’ll reach for often.
