VALENTINE’S SCARF
Wear your heart on your scarf this Valentine’s with Elisabeth Davis De Herraiz’s pretty pattern
Wrap yourself in love this Valentine’s Day with a heart-tipped, tassel-dipped sweetheart scarf. Popcorn stitch picks out a quartet of love hearts, while berry-red stripes add interest through the design.
NOTES
Scarf is worked in rows.
Crossed trebles are worked over 2 sts, so when directed to work a certain number of crossed trebles this is worked over double the number of stitches. For example 4 crossed trebles will be worked over 8 stitches.
