Notes

• Construction: In this project you will use the corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet technique to form a triangle. Main color and contrasting color are alternated each row, by breaking the yarn, and starting each row with a new color. Once triangle reaches the specified dimensions, the main color will be used to create the border and ties for the hair scarf.
• Color Changes: At the end of each row you will change colors. Color changes will begin on the last dc of the row. Once you’re on your last dc, stop before completing the last YO. Cut yarn and YO with new color. Continue as directed.
• Front & Back: This stitch is reversible but you’ll want to designate a front and a back. For consistency purposes, even numbered rows will mark the front of the work.
• The Border: Make border sc stitches in between each vertical dc, and 1 sc stitch along the side of each horizontal dc, as they face you, unless otherwise noted.
