Note: If you make your scarf wider or narrower, adjust the amount of sc stitches that you crochet so that the edge lays flat, then remember to do the same amount on the other edge.

• Ch 1 and rotate the scarf so that WS is facing and you’re working on the short edge.
• Evenly work 18 sc across edge
• Ch 1, turn; 1 sc in ea st across (18 sc), fasten off

For second short edge: Join with sl st in corner of other short edge with WS facing

Repeat steps for short edge edging, do not fasten off

Rotate piece so that long edge and RS is facing you

Ch 1, sl st in ea st across the long edge; when you come to the corner, work (sl st, ch 1, sl st) in corner st, work the short edge in the same manner working (sl st, ch 1, sl st) in corner st. Repeat this step around the scarf ending with a ch 1, then sl st in first sl st. 

Fasten off, weave in ends, block and enjoy
