NOTES

To create a scarf with the desired dimensions, follow these instructions using U.S. crochet terms. If you want to make the scarf wider, simply add more chains in an even number. To customize the length, keep adding rows until it reaches your preferred measurement, typically from fingertip to fingertip. This pattern employs the popular moss stitch technique, offering a unique and cozy texture. Adjust the tassels to your desired length by using a ruler instead of a toilet paper roll as your measuring guide. These tips and techniques make it easy to craft a scarf that suits your style and needs.
