NotesThe scarf is crocheted in rows from the long side. The pattern is an open network of chain loops. At each end a denser pattern is used to keep the shape.Note that the foundation chain is unusual as it is made from ch AND dc. This gives a more interesting edge and makes it easier to count the very long foundation chain.
