Pattern Notes

Row 1 is worked into the “back bump” of the chain to give a more finished and even beginning edge.
Hdc2tog in last st of each row, and working a hdc in the first stitch of the row creates a finished edge as you work, avoiding the need for further edging.
Work through the “back loop only” on all hdc, except for the first and last st of each row.
To continue the long color change pattern throughout the Scarf, when joining a new skein of yarn you may need to pull out yarn until you find the same color that the previous skein ended with.
