I love my two cups of coffee a day and so I thought why not create a few accessories with coffee in mind.
This is the Coffee bean kerchief, there are also a matching beanie and a cowl design available to knit. See the link in the yarn section below. The kerchief is knitted flat in a triangle shape showing off coffee beans in various sizes.
A simple stranded knitting method is applied here to
create the fun motif in two contrasting colors.
The pattern is fully written and also includes a how to video link and charts for the bean motifs.
The blocked size measures 42” along the edge and 12” in middle height.
