I didnt have an answer to my previous question above this scarf but I hope someone will answer my query about the edging. I’m finding it very hard to understand the instuctions of row 2 in particular.
the only marker when you get to the end of row one is in the the beginning of the first long side : row 2 say 3 dc in marked row then move marker to 2nd of these stitches and then sc to marker.: What marker, you cant go backward.
is there anyone who can explain it to me , I would greatly appreciate it.

From the designer: 4 dc3tog fit in the 41 chains.
Row 1: sc is in 2nd chain, first dc3tog is in the 4th, 5th, and 6th chain, sc in 8th chain, sc in 12th chain, second dc3tog is in the 14th, 15th, and 16th chain, sc in 18th chain, sc in 22nd chain, third dc3tog is in the 24th, 25th, and 26th chain, sc in 28th chain, sc in 32nd chain, fourth dc3tog is in the 34th, 35th, and 36th chains, sc in 38th chain, last dc is in the 41st chain.
Without seeing a picture of what the work looks like, it is hard to diagnose what is going wrong. I suspect that the dc3tog is being worked all in 1 stitch/chain rather than over 3 stitches/chains.
Hope this helps! – Nicola, Editor
I always try patterns before I do the final one and row one I cannot fit into 41 chains. I’m about 4 or 5 chains over.
Is anyone else having this problem ? or am I just a terrible crocheter!!!

Hello June! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Starting with a 41 chain you end up with 5dc3tog in the first row, not 4dc3tog which throws off the rest of the counts. Is this correct or am I reading this wrong. It is a beautiful scarf and the picture looks like the count is right but the starting chain is just too long?

Where can I find the chart for this pattern? There may be mistakes in these instructions.

There is no chart for this pattern. What are you having trouble with?
I’m trying to figure out the first row. I’ve done the chain of 41, but when I count the number of stitches in the first row I only get 32, including the first skipped stitch. I can make the 41 work if I add an additional pattern repeat, but as I work the following rows my sides don’t match. This is my first time trying a pattern on the bias, but I thought I would have more of a parallelogram. The side where I am starting with the shell stitches is turning out much longer than the side where the dc3tog rows begin. Is this something that will straighten out with the edging and blocking, or am I having trouble because of the added repeat? Thanks so much for your help. This is a beautiful pattern and I just want mine to look good too!
Lovely patterns I really like this scarf
Want to make this. Thank you.
