Scarfness

ok now this is a scarf i made for a scarf exchange through one of my myspace groups.. (dont spill the beans!) as long as i dont name names i guess im good. i made this with about 6 ounces of black, about 3 ounces of tan, and a small amount of red (maybe an ounce?)
its longer than i am tall... im 5' plus an inch or two depending on which pair of shoes im wearing :)
and this works up pretty quick, except i was super distracted.. id say if i wasnt doing other things also it would have taken a day or two.

i used an aluminum size I hook (US) and all WW yarn

with black, ch 225
1) sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each across. ch 1, turn.
2) sc in 1st sc, ch1, sk 1 sc, sc in next, *ch 1, sk 1 sc, sc in next sc* repeat from *to* across. sc in each of last 2 sc's. ch1, turn
3) sc in first sc and in first ch1 space. *ch 1, sk 1 sc, sc in next sc* repeat from *to* across.
4) reapeat Row 2.
5) repeat Row 3.
6) sc in each st across. fasten off black

with tan:
7) sc in each sc across. ch1, turn.
8) sc in each sc across. fasten off tan

with black:
9) sc in each sc across. ch1, turn.
10) repeat Row 2.
11) repeat Row 3.
12) sc in each st across. fasten off black

13-14) repeat Rows 7 and 8.

with black:
15) sc in each sc across. ch1, turn.
16) repeat Row 2.
17) repeat Row 3.
18) repeat Row 2.
19) repeat Row 3.
20) sc in each st across. fasten off black

join red where black was fastened off and work in Rounds.
1) 3 sc in 1st st, sc across evenly to last st. 3 sc in last st. then work evenly down the side, making sure you have 18 evenly spaced stitches between the corners. (corners are always 3sc in same space). work in this fashion all the way around. join with sl st to 1st sc.
2) sc around evenly, putting 3 sc in corner spaces.
fasten off.


Fringe:
i cut 18 same size strands of yarn, 9 of each color, and put one of each color together for each fringe. they are spaced pretty much evenly, from corner to corner with 2 sts in between each. except for the second to last one which is gonna have 1 st between the fringes on one side, and 2 sts between the fringes on the other side.
