Edge

Along long edges: Ch 1, sc 1 in first st, ch 2, sc 1 in same st, *ch 3, skip 2 sts, sc 1 in next st, ch 2, sc 1 in same st; repeat from * to end of row, finish with sc 1 in last st.

Along short edges (width): Continue working across the width making 1 sc in each stitch for a neat, finished look. Repeat on the opposite short edge.

Finishing

Cut your yarn and weave in all ends. Lightly block the scarf for an even, polished drape and to open up the herringbone texture if desired.
