GAUGE: 14 sc = 4. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain gauge. NOTES: The main body of the scarf is worked from the center out. It is worked in the round, with increases at each end. Move stitch markers up to the next row as work progresses. Stitches and Abbreviations Used Yarn over (yo): Wrap the yarn from back to front over the hook (or hold the yarn still and maneuver the hook).

Repeat to form the number of chains specified in the instructions. Do not count the slip knot as a stitch. When working into the starting chain, you may work under one or two strands of chain loops as shown in the illustration. Either of these methods forms an even, firm bottom edge. Some people like to work into the bump on the back of the chain. This forms an even, stretchy bottom edge that is ideal for garments. Whichever method of working into the foundation you choose, be consistent. Work all the pieces of a project in the same manner.

The next stitch is skipped. A single crochet is worked in the next stitch then the next stitch is skipped. This series of stitches is repeated all the way around the scarf. The stitch before and after the shell is skipped to leave some room for the 5 stitches to fan out and become rounded. The single crochet is a smaller stitch than the double crochet so it draws the end of the shell down and helps to give the shell shape. A shell is used as a universal term for this type of
