STITCH GUIDE
ch(s) – chain(s), sc – single crochet, hdc – half double crochet, dc – double crochet, st(s) – stitch(es)
SPECIAL STITCHES
Fhdc- Foundation Half Double Crochet – Tutorial
Chain 3 (counts as first fhdc). Yarn over (YO) and insert hook in 3rd chain from hook *YO and pull up loop (3 loops on hook), YO and pull through 1 loop creating a chain, (this is an important step but easy to forget), YO and pull through all three loops on hook. This completes the second fhdc (remember your first ch3 counted as the first fhdc). To stitch the next fhdc, yarn over and insert the hook into the chain made in the 2nd fhdc and repeat from * to desired length or until the desired amount of sts are achieved.
NOTES
• Ch 3 at beginning of row is considered the first dc

FINISHING
To finish your super scarf you can add fringe. Cut fringe in 21” length (finished fringe will be approx. 10” long). You will need 96 lengths of yarn to get the same effect I have. I did 15 sections of fringe, one at the end of each row. The color code is below
Fringe Section 1-3 – three lengths of CA
Fringe Section 4 – two lengths CA and one length CB
Fringe Section 5 – three lengths of CB
Fringe Section 6 – two lengths CA and one length CB
Fringe Section 7-9 – three lengths of CA
Fringe Section 10 – two lengths CA and one length CB
Fringe Section 11 – three lengths of CB
Fringe Section 12 – two lengths CA and one length CB
Fringe Section 13-15 – three lengths of CA
