Waffle Stitch Crochet Scarf

Zena told me that she didn’t receive the instructions, just page one, on the attachment for the crocheted scarf for the Armed Services project.  This is page two of the pattern.

I worked on the pattern this afternoon and found the 6” width recommended was too slim from my point of view so I “uncrocheted” a couple of times until I was comfortable with a wider scarf.  I started with 38 chains and then followed the instructions for the foundation row and rows 1 and 2.  The scarf will be about 10” wide.  I don’t know yet if more than two balls of yarn will be required.  However, you can follow the instructions as written.
