    Repeat rows 2 – 9 twelve more times (or as many as you’d like to get your desired length).

  • Step 14

    When you are at your desired length, cut yarn, leaving a long length for sewing (about 16 inches). Finish off. Weave in the yarn tail from the first row. Without twisting the scarf, bring the two ends together. Using the long yarn tail, whip stitch the two ends together evenly, working under both loops of the “v” in the scs. When you reach the end, secure yarn with a small knot and weave in the excess.
