This pattern is written in US terms.

Difficulty:
Easy

Materials Needed:
5.5mm (I) hook, or hook needed to obtain gauge
3.75mm hook for crab stitch edging
415, 470, 540 yards of #4 worsted weight Red Heart Comfort in “Petal Pink”
scissors

Stitches Used:
sl st = slip stitch
ch= chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet

Additional Terms
-Crab Stitch (also known as the reverse single crochet). This stitch is formed as you would make a normal single crochet, but at the end, you go backward, working your next crab stitch into the previous stitch, and not the “next stitch” (ahead).
-hdc in the 3rd loop: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back, and you should see another “V”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is called the 3rd loop. When you are working in rows, this 3rd loop will be facing you after you turn!

Gauge:
13 hdc stitches in 4”

Measurements:
Approximately 6 ½ ft, 7 ½ ft, 8 ½ ft long, including fringe, by 6 in. tall.

Additional Notes:
-Ch 1 at the beginning of a row is not counted as a stitch, ch 2 is counted as a stitch.
-The crab stitch edging is optional, but will give the scarf a more finished, professional look. -Some people may find their edge is more even when they go down a hook size or two for this step.
-If you want to adjust the length even more, this pattern is worked in multiples of 6+1, (plus one for the first row’s turning chain)
