Border and Finishing Touches:
After completing the scarf body with repeated rows up to Row 15:
Border:
- Start at the 6th stitch from the corner, ensuring the scarf bobbles face up.
- Create a pattern of skipping stitches and making dc clusters as outlined, finishing both ends and the long side with a slip stitch to join the first shell cluster.
Adding the Fringe:
- Cut 6 pieces of yarn: 12 inches long each.
- Create a loop: Fold them in half, creating a loop at the folded end.
- Insert and secure: Use a crochet hook to pull the loop through the scarf’s ends and draw the loose yarn ends through the loop, securing the fringe in place.
Blocking the Scarf:
- To achieve the smoothest look and most accurate dimensions, block your scarf after finishing.
