Rejoin wool at top right-hand corner of right side of scarf and crochet 3dc., 2dc., 3dc into corner space.  Continue crochet pattern working 3dc., 1ch. right across top of scarf and 3dc., 2ch., 3dc. into next corner space.  Crochet in this manner round the entire scarf remembering to include working 3dc. into each space where the square pieces were joined (refer close-up photo). When you have crocheted round the entire scarf fasten off.
Next Round: Work as previous Round.
This completes the scarf, however, another Round may be crocheted as in previous two rounds for a preferred additional width.
A fringe may be added if desired.
Making The Fringe:-
Method:
Count the number of spaces surrounding the entire completed scarf.  Cut four 7.5ins (19cms) pieces of wool for every space, including corners. With right side facing, insert crochet hook into first space;  Fold 4 strands of yarn in half and put centre loop onto crochet hook; draw hook & yarn back through the space and then put the 8 strands of yarn round hook and pull ithem rght through the loop on the hook until they hang down in 8 strands as a fringe.  Ensure the fringe is firm but do not pull too tight.  Trim fringe as necessary to even up ends.



They fold away neatly
