SIZES: Women’s 20-23 inches, Women’s Sm. 18-22, Youth’s 18-20 inches, Child’s 15-18 inches

SIZES: Women’s 20-23 inches, Women’s Sm. 18-22, Youth’s 18-20 inches, Child’s 15-18 inches
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Fancy Fur has a strand of Fun Fur and another yarn twisted together. If you are going to use Fun Fur use two strands held together. You can hold another yarn with it, sports weight works good for the second yarn.
3. The beginning ch 3 counts as the first dc throughout.
4. Sometimes it is hard to see where to put your hook, when that happens you can use your fingers to feel where the hook goes. Another way to see where the hook goes is hold your work up and let the light shine through it.
5. The easiest method of joining the yarn is to hold ends from each ball together, tie an overhand knot. Then trim the ends about 3/8 inch long.
6. Before weaving in ends pull the slubs off the end you are going to weave in, they pull right off without unraveling the yarn.

I made a scarf using this type of yarn and it is so soft and matches a lot of my jackets. It is a little hard to work with so really have to stick to a simple stitch.
But worth the effort. Thanks for sharing.
