Kirsten Joel

Designer Kirsten Joel presents the Firefly Kerchief. With two size options, small and large, Firefly captures the delicate charm of its namesake.

Both the kerchief and the insect are subtle yet captivating—small, lightweight, and perfect in their understated beauty. The i-cord edging mirrors the sleek body of the firefly, while the lace detailing represents the delicate dance of light that makes the firefly so mesmerizing. An easy-to-knit kerchief worked from corner to corner.  The pattern offers two size options; small and large.
