My friend Becky and I were at a local yarn store earlier this year, discussing color choices for a project, and I decided to include a store visitor into the conversation. I asked a young woman who was knitting nearby for her favorite color, and she instantly and enthusiastically replied “Butter yellow!”
Becky and I looked at each other … butter yellow?
Long story short, I quickly caught up on the color trend that has been taking the fashion and home decor world by storm this year. I started seeing “butter yellow” everywhere!
The gentle, happy color grew on me, and when I found two “butter yellow” yarns that would be perfect for pin-loom weaving, I decided to use them for a headscarf idea that I’ve had for a while: Some of you requested a children’s size headscarf after I released the Rhinebeck Headscarf pattern last year.
The new design would use elongated hexagons and squares.
Just one ball each of Berroco’s Vintage Baby in 10011 Buttercup and Rico Design’s Ricorumi in 005 Vanilla is plenty to make the project.
The looms used for the headscarf are the Elongon™, 2”, F-fine sett , the Square, 2”, F-fine sett (this loom is also used to weave triangles), and optionally the Original Diamond, F-fine sett .
The headscarf will fit an adult as well … it will just not cover the head as much as the Rhinebeck version.
The pattern includes a blank chart, so if butter yellow is not your thing or you’d like to play with more than one color (or yarns) for the hexagons and squares, you can design your own!
The pattern is now available in our Etsy store, click here.

The trendy color is literally called “butter yellow” … give it a google! But buttercups are definitely called that way for a reason 😊
