- Continue with Color 2
- Round 3: Sl st into next dc, then (ch 3, tr) in the same st. 3 tr in next dc, (tr, dc) in the following dc, sl st in next dc. Repeat around, joining with a sl st to top of ch-3 to complete. Fasten off Color 2.
- Switch to Color 3
- Round 4: Join Color 3 in the first dc of Round 3. Ch 3, 1 dc in next tr, 1 hdc in next tr, 1 sc in next tr, 1 hdc in next tr, 1 dc in next 2 sts, 1 tr in dc of Round 2. Repeat this pattern around to complete the petals. Join and fasten off Color 3.
Step 2: Join the Motifs
Use a Flat Slip Stitch (sl st) method to join the motifs into a strip for the scarf.

- Ch 2, hdc in the same space.
- Work 18 hdc evenly across each motif along the long edge of the scarf, 2 sc in each joining ch-2 space.
- Turn and repeat rows until the edging measures about 4″ (10 cm).
Step 4: Narrow Edging (Right Side)
Repeat the wide edging steps along the opposite edge, making sure it measures about 4″ (10 cm) as well.
Step 5: Top and Bottom Edging
- Top Edge: Join MC in the top right corner, work 30 sc evenly across the short edge, then fasten off.
- Bottom Edge: Repeat the same for the bottom edge.
- Final Round: Ch 1, and working from left to right (reverse sc), sc around the entire edge of the scarf for a clean finish.
Corner Flowers (Make 4)
Add decorative flowers to each corner using leftover yarn.

Helpful Tips
- Managing Colors: Since each motif uses multiple colors, keep your yarn organized to avoid tangling. Try using yarn bobbins if needed.
- Adjusting Size: Feel free to make additional motifs or adjust the length of the scarf by adding or subtracting rows from the edging.
