• This pattern is worked in short rows, not long rows or in the round.
• Row 1: With white, Ch x30
• Row 2: In the second ch from hook, make a sc, ch + skip the chain below, and make a sc into the next chain. Repeat for the rest of the row. (29) Then Ch x1 and turn. You know you have the correct number of chains if you end on a sc, you do not want to end the row with a foundation ch untouched.
• Row 3-9: Sc into the chain space from the row below, ch over the last rows sc, and sc into the next chain space again. While you are completing more rows, make sure you are crocheting into the chain spaces from the previous row, do not make a single crochet into the chain directly. Crochet around it. (29) Then Ch 1 and turn after every row, except row 9 - at the end of that row, change the color to black.

Scarf Fringe:

• For the fringe cut 2 18 inch pieces of yarn in black.
• To attach the fringe to the crochet linen stitch scarf, pinch the strand of yarn at the middle and make a loop, insert a hook into the short side of the scarf and pull the yarn through the bottom stitch. Then using your fingers take the ends of the fringe and loop them through the hole you made and pull tight.
• Repeat the above step for the entire width of the scarf. Repeat on the other side of the scarf. I put 1 group of fringe per stitch.
• After all the fringe is attached, trim the bottom so the yarn is nice and all lined up.
• And now you have a stylish linen stitch crochet scarf! Stay warm!
