Crochet Kerchief - Hdc V-st and Tr

Crochet a kerchief to hide a bad hair day, or to keep your hair back in style. It is perfect for warm summer days or any time of the year.

The kerchief crochet pattern works up quickly and easily, and ties at the back for a comfortable fit. I did not add an edging to this kerchief, but instructions are provided for those who wish to do so. If you love this look, be sure to check out my popular granny stitch crochet kerchief pattern, which is a favorite among readers!
