Designer Kirsten Joel presents the Firefly Kerchief.

With two size options, small and large, Firefly captures the delicate charm of its namesake.

Knit in soft and airy Piper, the subtle sheen of the kerchief emulates how a real firefly illuminates the night with its gentle glow.

The Firefly Kerchief shines with its sweet lace edging, creating a soft, intricate highlight against the simple garter stitch background.

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.
