I'm going to be making a ruffle scarf using this beautiful new yarn.
It looks like fabric.
You need to open it up to work along the mesh.
We'll be working along only one side of the mesh.
We open it up to see the top side of it and we're going to be working for
this particular scarf
a basic Afghan stitch.
I'm using a G hook.
For my first stitch I'm coming from the back to the front and grabbing
a loop on the top.
Measure about an inch. For me it's from my knuckle to the tip of my finger.
Of course, it doesn't have to be exact. You'll start eyeballing it as you
get comfortable.
I'm going from
front to back, grabbing another loop on the hook.
Then I'm just going to grab another loop about an inch down
and pull it though those two loops.
So I have my beginning stitch for my scarf.
Now we're going to work a basic Afghan stitch.
I'm going an inch over,
coming from back to front,
and from front to back.

You can see the loops that are on the hook now.
I've got five.
I'm going to do one more.
Back to front.
I have six loops on my hook.
That's what we're going to be working with for the rest of the pattern.
Go down an inch
grab a loop
and pull it through two loops on your hook.
That is your first stitch.
Go down another inch and grab another loop
and pull it through two loops on the hook.
Grab another loop
pull it though two loops.
The trickiest part is keeping the mesh open.
Grab another loop and pull it through two loops.
This will be the final stitch on this grouping.
You can see you have a nice ruffle started.
That's what you are going to do down the fabric.
I'm going to do it one more time.
We work
back to front,
front to back
back to front,
front to back,
and one more.
As you work along, keep opening the mesh.
That is what will make the ruffle.
Our last one on hook.
I'll count my loops on the hook.
I have six loops on my hook.
Now I'm going to begin to take them off.
Go down an inch,
grab a loop

pull it through two.
Grab a loop,
pull it through two.
Keep opening the mesh
as you're working.
It's not hard to do. It's just a little time consuming because you have to keep
opening the mesh and paying attention to what you are doing. doing
Pull it through two more.
Pull it through two more.
I'm going to finish
this section by pulling it through
the rest of the loops on the hook. So you're really beginning to get a very nice scarf.
The finished product
looks something like this - a nice and fluffy scarf.
The important thing is when you're going to take a break
make sure you security that loop.
Either with a safety panel or some kind of clip like I have on this one.
Because if you don't,
this is what is going to happen. It will just pull out.
That is why when you finish,
when you're completely done with your scarf
----
make sure
you take needle and thread
and really secure
that last loop to your scarf.
