NOTES
Scarf is worked in rows throughout. The Diamond Pattern is written out first with the labels Yarn A and Yarn B. Within the pattern for the Scarf, each repeat lists which colours are used.
Change colour on the final yrh of st before colour change is indicated. Where 2 colours are used on a row, carry the unused colour across the top of the sts, enclosing the strand as you work. Work over the yarn tails where possible to reduce the number of ends you need to weave in.
