Introduction and Notes

This scarf/shawl alternates 2 rows of sc with 1 row of dc. It increases on one side and decreases on the other.

• • The decrease side always ends with a dc.

  • The increase side always ends with a sc.

  • Both sides always start with a dc. 

I will add more pictures, including one of a completed scarf/shawl.
