Notes: The first 3 chains of each row count as a dc stitch. This scarf is made in 3 pieces: two long ends and one small diamond to join at the center.  Odd worked rows are considered the right side, for the purpose of joining and to obtain symmetry.

The Indicator Scarf 

Assembly: Lay all three pieces right side up. The sides of the center piece with a ch 1 (the pointed ends) will be at the sides of the scarf. Sew the center piece evenly to each end (there should be no stitches into the ch 1 space), using the long tails on the end pieces.  

Make 2 large pom poms (or use pre-made poms). Attach tightly to the skipped ch space at the center of the 1st row at each end.
