Helpful Tutorial
Notes:
- Stitch multiple of 4 + 4 for the turning ch
- Initial ch 3 COUNTS as 1 dc.
- When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
- To make this scarf longer, work more rows using the repeat section of the pattern.
- To make this scarf wider, chain more stitches using the stitch multiple.
