NOTE: only Right Side rows are shown in chart. All Wrong Side rows are worked as follows: knit first and last stitches, purl all other stitches. Repeat EDGING SECTION. Cast off LOOSELY. You may want to go up a needle size for this. Soak the scarf in lukewarm water for ten minutes before pinning it out, thereby evening out the stitches and opening up the lace work. When dry, weave in ends.
