The Design

“Perfect for keeping the sun and wind off your neck.”

Inspired by the natural beauty of the beach, this kerchief’s triangle shape is edged with a pretty little shell motif and accented with garter ridges that look like ripples in the sand.

Our brilliant designers have done the math for two sizes -- think a neat 'bandanna' and a sweet 'scarflet!'

Made from Hemp for Knitting’s mercerized allhemp6, the fabric just won’t wear out! And it won’t shrink, stretch, fade or pill. Hemp also provides UV protection and only gets softer and more lustrous with washing and drying. You'll need just one skein for the original kerchief and two for the larger scarflet size. 

So if you're getting away to the seashore and walking in the brisk ocean breezes, this little scarflet will keep your neck warm and comfortable. Then later it will remind you of the sand between your toes and the little treasures you saw in the tide pools!
