   This is pretty awesome!! Im so excited to try it!! How do you do the loop on the outside? Does it just happen as you go or do you have to know ahead of time how to do it?

   Hey Caitlin! The “jump up” loop is simple. Just grab the yarn and pull through the end loop! Try it and let me know if you need more help with it!! If you have to, pause it or make it play in really slow motion to pick it up. Good luck!! can’t wait to see your scarf!

   Love it! I’m so excited to make mine! Definitely will post on instagram when I’m all done. I love the ending where you set you clock next to you to show us it really only takes an hour once you get the hang of it. Thanks for sharing!

   Looking forward to trying this as its a different pattern from what I use.. Also I’ve never worked with that big of yarn or hook. Did have a question about the border is it on both sides the full length of the scarf? From what I saw in the video that’s the way it looked. I’ll have to wait till I actually try to make one. Thanks for the video!

   I literally just watched the how-to video last night, and found myself in Michael’s 20 minutes later!! I am so excited to start it now! I’ve watched the video at least 10 times now so I think I got it down just one question, is the border continued on all 4 sides of the scarf? See you on Intsagram love!

     You are such a sweetheart!!! and I can’t wait to see your finished scarf!!! to answer your question, the border needs to be covered on all four sides. (that’s what I do at least) It looks better and makes it a lot easier on you! best of luck!!!

     If you’re looking to save money, buy your Lion brand yarn from Walmart. It’s $3 per yarn there and $8 per yarn at Michaels and Hobby Lobby (however, they do have a bigger selection of colors). And you’re so welcome!!! Your comment made my night!! Thank you!!!

       Oh, and I’m not talking on the video. It might just be me, but i get annoyed when I watch a tutorial with music and talking. Lol. I like to pause and really focus on the steps.

       Michael’s is running the chunky yarn on sale right now at 2 for 10 dollars, it’s still cheaper at Wal-mart but if you want a better selection like Christina said nows the time to snag some. I know I did today.

       Went to Walmart tonight and all mine had was super bulky no. 6. Didn’t know if that would still work and look good or not?

         Any yarn will work with the stitch. Pick the yarn that’s your style and i’m sure it will look fantastic!

    I can’t thank you enough for this – just what I needed to get me out of this funk… Pick up a new hobby. I have never tried anything like this before, but I bought the supplies immediately. I will be starting it soon & tagging on Instagram when it’s finished! Thanks, girl! I so appreciate the tip on Wal-Mart yarn, too.

    Hi Christina,

    Thanks for the scarf tutorial! I plan on starting it today for my christmas gifts for my mom, sister and some friends. I bought the 19mm crochet hook and it only came in red (lion brand hook) and looks a slight bigger than the turquoise one you’re using. I saw a 15.75 mm one that’s turquoise and it’s looks closer to yours. Help! I am not very crafty, so I am worried I am using the wrong one.

    Thanks so much,

    Rose

      Hey darlin, don’t panic!! Either one will work just fine. If you’re feeling uneasy about using the red one, just get the blue one or get both and see which one you like better. I promise, either one will be great! Hope this helps. Good luck!! Can’t wait to see your finished scarf!!

    How many of the 3 balls of yarn do you use for the length of the scarf a how much do you use for the border?

    Hi Christina,
    I love this tutorial it has been so helpful! Just had one question… I want to make a tube scarf instead of just one long one… how would I connect the scarf to make it into a tube?
    Thanks so much!

    When the scarf is finished and you want to do the border, do you start where your last row ended and go around the whole scarf?

      Yes! That’s exactly what you do! Sounds like you’re doing great! Good luck darlin!
