Gauge: 16 sts and 11 rows = 4” [10 cm] in pattern st after wet blocking

Materials

Pattern Notes

Pattern is worked horizontally from edge to edge, with fringe added upon completion.
Ch 3 at beginning of each row counts as spl hdc, ch 1 throughout unless otherwise noted.
It is better to work blocks of color by exact row count as opposed to measuring to ensure same color block size on each side of scarf.
