FANCY FUR BUTTONHOLE ASCOT


FANCY FUR BUTTONHOLE ASCOT
7/2/15 Edited last line.  change in red.

MATERIALS:
2 skeins (39 yards each) Lion Brand Fancy Fur
US size N (9.0 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle

SIZE: Approximately 5 inches wide and 40 inches long.

NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. The beginning ch 3 counts as the first dc throughout. Start each row by skipping the first dc and end with dc in the turning chain.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Before weaving in ends pull the slubs off the end you are going to weave in, they pull right off without unraveling the yarn.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Row 1:
Ch 12, dc in 4th ch from hook and each remaining ch. Ch 3, turn. (10 dc)

Row 2: Dc in each st. Ch 3, turn. (10 dc)

Repeat row 2 until scarf is 7 inches from starting chain.

Next row: Dc in 3 sts (4 dc counting the ch 3), ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in last 4 sts. Ch 3, turn. (8 dc and 1 ch 2 sp)

Next row: Dc in each st, 2 dc over ch 2 sp. Ch 3, turn. (10 dc)


Repeat row 2 until scarf is about 40 inches long. Fasten off and weave in ends.

To wear, place opposite end through the hole created by the ch 2, skip 2.

Comments:
I had to laugh at the last line in the pattern. You have obviously adapted a knit pattern to crochet and forgot to change the last line to crochet instructions. I know what you meant though. I just scored a bag of 17 balls of Lion Brand fancy yarns, including Fancy Fur, for a ridiculous price of $7, and now I have a pattern. Thank you very much for this pattern, I think I will be making these for the Women's Shelter for Christmas.
 
Oopsie, gonna have to fix that.
