Hello! Colleen Hays here, owner of YarnWars.com. I created this pattern to be offered free to my yarn crafting friends near and far. This includes anyone with a passion for yarn in whatever medium, crochet, knit, loom and more. Whatever you wish to do, be it sell or gift your final workup of this pattern, you are welcome to do so, I just ask that you try to give a small credit in some way to YarnWars for the design. Please do not distribute copies of this pattern instead, please refer others to YarnWars.com website to pick up their own free copy. Referring others to my website is what enables me to continue creating free patterns for the community and offering venues for yarn-tistas to come together. All of my patterns are also available for free download in the Files tab of our YarnWars Facebook group.

The scarf width in this pattern working with 4 wt yarn and an H hook came to approximately 9” in width with the 32 ch count. To adjust the width of your scarf, simply add or subtract in increments of 5 chains to the beginning foundation chain of the project.
Multiples of this project are 5. You will always begin this project by adding 2 extra chains only to your beginning chain.
For example, if your project width requires 25 chains, you will add 2 on to this for your starting chain and your project will begin with a chain count of 27.
I have done some calculations off and on screen so I will try to connect a video in the description of the pattern video to explain how I came to these numbers.
