Beautiful colors. Simple and stunning. Thank you.

[@angelapa9513]

You explain so well . Beautiful scarf.

[@Stranger_Than_Fiction299]

Pretty stitch! Looks like it would be easy enough to increase and decrease and do in the round for a sweater.

[@robynwelsh9222]

[@nicolacarter5277]

Nice! A rotary cutter would make cutting the fringe easier😊

[@karenwatkins4122]

[@klg263]

Thank you for your clear and easy to follow instructions. Your videos are always so helpful.

But how do I switch to the next color/row? Why do herringbone scarf patterns do this. I cant find one that properly shows how to switch colors

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Elizabeth! Because this scarf has fringe, and the yarn tails from changing colors can be included in the fringe instead of weaving them in, I opted to tie off at the end of the row when I was finished with a color. Then, you can either put a slip knot on the hook and slip stitch in the last stitch of the previous row before turning and working the next row in the new color, or you can just insert the hook into the last stitch of the previous row, and pull up a loop of the new yarn before turning and working the next row in the new color. Does that make sense? I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks!

Love this stitch! Thank you for sharing🐰🐰

[@kimvandertill8928]

One question I have that you don’t mention in your video, nor did I see it in your written instructions is, do you start each row from the same end or do you turn your work and work back and forth? Curious if it matters in order to keep the herringbone look. Thanks.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Kim. Yes, you do need to turn the work back and forth to get the herringbone texture. (Some stripes are more than one row, so you'll want to turn after every row in the scarf to be consistent.) I hope this helps!

[@melodybrewer7231]

Thank you for an awesome tutorial 🧶

[@kittenkorleone2918]

That's one handsome scarf! Love it!

[@lindafarebrother957]

Great tutorial thank you for sharing 😊

[@jannatulferdaus4171]

I am gonna make this for my husband❤ so i want to know how much grams of yarn will be required??

[@YayForYarn]

All of the yarn amounts for each color and all information needed to make the scarf are given in the written pattern. You can view the free version of the written pattern by visiting the first link in the video description. I hope this helps!

[@jenniferprice7447]

Is each row worked on the right side?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Jennifer. No, every row is not worked on the right side. For this project, you turn the work for each row. I hope this helps!

[@samruddhilingayat2281]

Nice😀👌

[@irenesosa8751]

You didn't say how many rows. I counted 24, that will be the width, can it be shorter

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Irene. The exact instructions for the stripes and the total number of rows are in the free version of the written pattern, which you can view by visiting the first link in the video description. If you want to work fewer rows for the scarf to be narrower, that would be fine. I hope this helps!

[@crochetmelovely]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@debbieadams3739]

I love this scarf pattern and I just purchased from your shop. I did not see any instructions regarding a turning chain I did see to chain 2 after the foundation chain but was wondering if you change yarns at the end of the row then chain.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Debbie! Yes, there is a chain 2 at the beginning of each row. When changing colors, I prefer to do so before working the turning chain for the next row. I hope this helps!

[@lindabassett9490]

I made this scarf by following your instructions. It is nicest scarf I've ever made! How do I update a photo to show you?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Linda! If you'd like to share a photo, you can email it to me at blogger[at]yayforyarn.com (replace [at] with the @ sign), or you can post it to instagram and tag me @yayforyarn. I hope this helps!

[@julienovak1696]

Am I doing something wrong? My ends are going in a diagonal direction.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Julie. If your ends are diagonal, it may be that you're working the first stitch of the row in the second stitch of the previous row instead of the first stitch. If you like, you can send me a photo of your piece at blogger[at]yayforyarn.com and I can help you troubleshoot. I hope this helps!

[@anneweinstein5778]

Do you have a video for how to change colors at the end of a row with this pattern?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Anne. Because this scarf has fringe, and the yarn tails from changing colors can be included in the fringe instead of weaving them in, I opted to tie off at the end of the row when I was finished with a color. Then, you can either put a slip knot on the hook and slip stitch in the last stitch of the previous row before turning and working the next row in the new color, or you can just insert the hook into the last stitch of the previous row, and pull up a loop of the new yarn before turning and working the next row in the new color. Does that make sense? I hope this helps!

[@Defined4hispurpose]

What steamer do you use? Thanks for this video. I enjoyed it.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! I actually use a steaming iron, held 2"-3" over the surface of the fabric. (It cannot touch the fabric.) I lay everything out on an ironing board and steam it from above with the iron. I hope this helps!

[@littlejack6123]

Thank you. Love the scarf... Also, your explanation of the foundation SC row and herringbone HDC stitch was a big help to me. Could I use a larger hook to secure the fringe? In the past, I have done it by hand.

[@YayForYarn]

Yes, you could use a larger hook if you like. :)

[@littlejack6123]

@@YayForYarn Thanks for your reply🐑💕🐑💕

[@shellykearney7821]

Beautiful design. Thank you for sharing.

[@maryharrison5883]

Have you considered using a rotary cutter to trim the ends?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Mary. Yes, a rotary cutter would work well here. I have a rotary cutter for quilting, but just prefer to show a method that only uses tools that all crocheters would have on hand. :)

[@maryharrison5883]

That is true. You could consider mentioning it as an option for those of us who also quilt.
