Winged Hair Kerchief

[Tiggzie]

Anyone wanna test this pattern? If you forgot what this is, here's a reminder:

http://www.inktobark.net/hair1.jpg
If feels kinda weird to call this an original pattern. It's so simple...it should be like copyright free or something. Anyhoo.... Please let me know if I screwed up or you have trouble understanding it. This is the first pattern I share.

I used:

Sugar and Cream Cotton yarn (any worsted weight will do; cotton's just better for summer)

I hook and G hook (for flower)

Stitches used: Chain (ch)

Single Crochet (sc)

Double crochet (dc)

Puffy McPuffpuff* or Bullion (B):
y/o 9 times, insert hook into stitch, draw loop through stitch. You know 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.


Row 1: Ch 3. Dc 2 in third ch. Ch 1, skip second ch and 3 dc into first ch. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3. 2 dc in next dc. Ch 1 and shell in ch1 space from previous row. Ch 1, 3 dc in last dc. Turn.

Row 3: Ch 3. 2 dc in next dc. *Ch 1, 3 dc into next ch 1 space, ch 1*. Shell in shell. Repeat from * to * once. 3 dc in last dc. Turn.

Row 4: Ch 3. 2 dc in next dc. *Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch 1 space,* Repeat from * to *. Shell in shell. Repeat from * to * twice. 3 dc in last dc. Turn

Row 5 – 15: Ch 3, 2 dc in next dc. *Ch 1, 3 dc in spaces, ch 1* Repeat * to * until point. Shell in Shell. Repeat from * to * until last space. 3 dc in last dc. Turn.

[You can change how many rows you’d like as long as you keep to the pattern. Keep in mind that the edging adds about an inch and a half.]

Edging: Ch 3. 2 dc in next dc. *Ch 1, dc-b-dc in space, ch 1.* Repeat * to * until point. Shell in shell. Repeat rom * to * until last space. 3 dc in last dc. Turn.

Ch 3, 2 dc in next dc. Ch 1, shell in space, ch 1* Repeat * to * until point. Shell in shell. Repeat from * to * until last space. 3 dc in last dc. Do not turn. Instead, sc down long edge of kerchief, fasten off and weave in ends.

Straps: 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.

And yes, I call the bullion my Puffy McPuffpuff stitch.

ETA: I reuploaded the picture. I didn't realize it was down, sorry. Enjoy.

Puffy McPuffpuff - I love that!

I'll try it out tomorrow! Yours is really cute, by the way.

This is so cute!
I printed it off and plan to start it tomorrow.

It looks like it'd be an awesomely beautiful shawl just by adding rows!

Thanks for sharing this!

Woohoo perfect pattern to be making while on the road!
Printing now. Thanks!

I'll try it after I get the year end teacher afghans done. I have 2 little girls who would love these!

About the shawl comment: My mom said she wanted me to make her a kerchief. I said "okay, how long?" "Oh about 50 inches. That should cover my shoulders right?"

ETA: By the way, I make two per ball of S&C but it depends on hook size and how many rows you add on.

I did one this morning...or rather most of. I can't finish the endging because I ran out of yarn...go figure! So I'm going to buy more this afternoon to finish it. I didn't have any problems with it. Worked up fast and it's just too easy! lol!! I'll post a pic after I actually finish the edge.

Hey Tiggzie, I just finished mine and posted it in show and tell. Thanks again for letting me try out your pattern!

Oooh, I'm a fairly new (past 2 years) crocheter, I'd love to try it out. I'll work on it this weekend.
