  1. I just finished the body of my scarf. Its super cute, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to do the tassels. Do you have any step by step tassle instructions somewhere.

  2. Thanks for such a great pattern! So many write patterns without complete instructions and I’m like ok what do I do now? Can’t read your mind! You gave step by step and that’s what I need.

  3. Hi how do i make this scarf pattern wider thanks

  4. Thank you so much for this adorable pattern! I’m just starting out crocheting and I wanted to tackle something other than a single stitch scarf for one of my nieces. However, because I am SO new at this, I have a question- how would I decrease it to make it more narrow? I’m making it for a 5 year old, and I think it would fit her better with three columns of shells. Thanks in advance for helpin’ this beginner! 🙂

  6. […] I have been trying to get hooking but haven’t really felt up to it. I did whip up the Head Hugger hat for Dill who was actually disappointed! Ingrate! I totally missed and dropped the ball for gifts for The Bee’s teacher this year. I’m going to spend the holiday getting acquainted with some yarn and create a few of my favorites: Nangellini’s Phlight of Fancy scarf, the Mesh scarf and the Shelly scarf. […]
