STEP1 Main Part 01' 15'' ​

The main part is worked with two colors, the main color and the contrasting color, following the flat back-and-forth technique along their foundation chains. Start one row with the main color, then cast on and work another row with the contrasting color. Continue by alternating rows between the main color and the contrasting color, ensuring that you only work stitches of the same color within each row. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note:1.The cast on stitches for the main color yarn is 3 less than a multiple of 14, while the cast on stitches for the contrasting color yarn is 2 more than the main color stitches.

2.After completing, fasten off the main color yarn and keep the contrasting color yarn uncut.

STEP2 Edging 53' 12'' ​

Both ends of the scarf need edging, done in the same way. The only difference is that at the finishing end, you can directly continue crocheting with the contrasting color yarn, while at the starting end, you need to join the contrasting color yarn before crocheting. Remember to pick up both the main color and contrasting color yarn at the corresponding positions in the first row. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.
