NOTES
Scarf is worked in rows with RS facing throughout. Fasten off at the end of each row and rejoin yarn in the first st of the row. Work over as many tails as possible to reduce the number of ends you need to weave in. There are 2 Charts on page 95, which you will need to refer to when making the Scarf. Each small square represents 1wdc. Read all rows from right to left. The Chart is repeated using different colours in the pattern. The colours required will be listed in each section of the pattern.
The first few rows of each Chart has been written out to guide you.
Change colour on the final yrh of st before colour change is indicated. Carry the unused colours across the top of your stitches, enclosing the strand as you work.
