A friend was mixing her Russian and Spanish when she gave it its name.

It's a small, summery kerchief worked as a mitered triangle with i-cord edging and ties. The pattern is a 4-page pdf with chatty instructions and tips, including i-cord instructions for both attached and plain i-cord. I used Cascade Sierra. Any worsted yarn with a spring to it, wool or cotton blend, will do. It might be cool in a Noro yarn, or in doubled sock yarn, or in any one of the cool cottons available this summer.

I wore mine today and it was more comfortable than even I imagined it would be.
