Scarf

Foundation chain: Ch 32, join into ring, being careful that chain is not twisted. (Note:

leave beginning tail hanging to use as a guide later for location of side “seam”.)

Rnd 1: Ch 1, sc in first ch, sc in next 7 ch, hdc in next 8 ch, dc in next 8 ch, trc in next 8

ch (32 sts). Do not join but continue to work in a continuous spiral. Place thread marker

to note beg of rnds and move it up as you work.

Rnd 2: Trc in back loop only (BLO) of ea st around (32 trc)

Rep Round 2 until scarf measures approx. 72”, or to desired length.

Last round: Continuing to work in BLO, trc in 8 trc, dc in 8 trc, hdc in 8 trc, sc in 8 trc.

Join with sl st and fasten off.

Ruffled trim (on ends):

Flatten scarf all along its length, using beginning tail as a guide to placement of fold line

for side “seam”. Holding one strand each of Color A and B together as one and working

through both thicknesses, attach yarn to first st on one end of scarf, and work as follows:

*Ch 3, sc in next st, rep from * across end of scarf, thus closing end of tube (15 ch-3 lps).

Fasten off.

Rep on other end of tube.

Ruffled trim (on scarf):

(Note: trim is attached in the free loops that remain from working in BLO on scarf body.)

Working from end of scarf toward center, hold one strand each of Color A and B together

as one and attach to first free lp on one end of scarf.

*Ch 3, sc in next free lp, rep from * around for a total of 5 rounds (or for desired number

of rounds). Sl st in last st at side “seam” and fasten off.

At other end of scarf, repeat ruffled trim along free lps for 5 rounds (or desired number of

rounds).

Finishing:

Weave in all tails. If necessary, gently wash and block scarf.
