Red Heart has added some amazing new yarns to their lineup! I was fortunate recently to receive some of these yarns, as a complementary package to use in new free designs! This design features the new Red Heart with Love STRIPES~I love the new colorways! This one is Fiji Stripe, and the beautiful greens, and blues are right up my daughters alley... Follow me for the free pattern, so you can make your own~ |

Rows 93-110: Repeat rows 91 and 92, in order. Fasten off after row 110, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Fold narrow end back, so that row 110 is even with row 87. Using yarn needle and long tail, stitch in place.
Slide opposite end of scarf through the loop just created on narrow end. Find desired position, so that the scarf fits comfortably over your head, and sits comfortably around your neck. To reduce the risk of injury (ex.~Choking), using a yarn needle, create a running stitch through back layers of loop and scarf end, to make it immobile.
Create 5 tassels. Tie one tassel at row 1 of scarf, at each post st.
