Notes
- This pattern is worked flat with the right side of the work facing.
- At the beginning of each row, the first stitch is on the hook and counts as a Tunisian knit stitch.
- Do not turn your work at the beginning of each row. Each row is worked from right to left (forward pass) and then from left to right (return pass).
- When working the rows of white, carry the blue yarn up and leave a white tail end long enough for seaming at the end.
How To Work Into The Last Stitch Of The Row:
How To Duplicate Stitch
- Start by cutting a piece of white yarn that is between 2 and 3 feet long. Anything longer will be harder to work with.
- Do not pull hard on the yarn as you stitch.
- Stitching from right to left and from bottom to top is easiest.
Step 1. Insert the hook from the back of the work to the front of the work, into the bottom of the V of the stitch that you would like to start. (image 1 & 2)
Step 2. Pull the yarn through the stitch. (image 3)
Leave the tail end long enough to knot off.
Step 3. Insert the hook behind the V above the stitch that you would like to make. (image 1)
Step 4. Pull the yarn through the stitch at an upward angle. (image 2)
Step 5: Insert the hook back into the bottom of the V of the stitch that you are making. (image 1)
Step 6: Pull the yarn through the stitch. (image 2)
And continue on.

Do not cut the yarn.
Bind Off:
Insert the hook into the next stitch (just like for a tunisian knit stitch), yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook to create a slip stitch. Repeat across. Do not cut the yarn.
Snowflake:
Stitch the snowflake on the scarf with white yarn, using the duplicate stitch technique and the snowflake grid. (See note section.)
Seaming:
Fold the scarf in half and slip stitch down the side to connect the two sides. Change colors when necessary.
Fringe:
Add fringe. My fringe is 6 inches long after steaming and trimming.
The End!
