Lokken Kerchief

The **Lokken Kerchief** is a beautifully crafted small shawl that features an engaging design of blocks and stripes, all created using modular garter stitch knitted on the bias. This lovely piece draws inspiration from traditional woven textiles, providing a unique and contemporary look. Best of all, you don't need to master any colorwork techniques to create your own Lokken Kerchief; all the stunning patterning comes to life through the magic of self-striping yarn or by skillfully alternating yarns.

The original version of the **Lokken Kerchief**, first published in **Knitscene Accessories 2012**, was designed for one skein of self-striping yarn. When you opt for this method, the yarn does all the aesthetic heavy lifting, resulting in a vibrant and dynamic finished product with minimal effort. For this updated edition of the pattern, you will find not only the classic self-striping yarn instructions but also comprehensive written instructions for crafting your kerchief with **three colors of yarn**. This flexibility allows you to expand your creativity and personalize your project even further.

To assist you in planning the perfect color palette and placement for your design, we've included detailed coloring pages for each version. Whether you choose to use the self-striping approach or the three-color technique, you can be assured that you'll never be juggling two yarns at once. That said, you may need to pick up a few stitches and weave in a handful of ends as you go along, creating an enjoyable crafting experience.

This pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Embrace the art of modular knitting and create your very own **Lokken Kerchief** to showcase your style, or gift it to someone special. Download the Lokken Kerchief pattern today and get started on this inspiring knitting journey!
