Instructions

Row 1: Sc 1 in 2nd ch from hook, sc 1 in next ch and across to end of row, sc 1 in last st, turn (21 st)

Row 2: Ch 1, dc 1 in 1st st from hook, *skip 1 st, ch 1, dc 1 in next st, repeat from * to last st, dc 1 in last st, turn (21 st)

Row 3-5: Repeat row 2.

Change to color B.

Rows 6-9: Repeat row 2.

Change to color C.

Rows 10-13: Repeat row 2.

Change back to color A.

Repeat row 2 four rows in each color until you reach your desired length.

Last row: Ch 1, sc 1 in 1st st from hook, sc 1 in next and across to end of row (21 st).

Finishing

• Weave in all ends.
• Block the scarf.
• Measure 1.5 the length of your scarf and cut strands of yarn in groups of 3 for each color.

In my sample, I had 4 (3 strands) in mustard, 4 (3 strands in grey), and 2 (3 strands in brown).

Lay the scarf as in the photo and using your tapestry needle weave in 3 strands together in between the rows, leaving enough tail for fringe.

Fringe

Work two groups of 3 strands together and make a knot.
