DIRECTIONS:
STITCH EXPLANATION:
V-st (V-stitch) Work (dc, ch 1, dc) in indicated st.

NOTES:
Scarf is worked 3 pieces: Scarf and 2 Pockets.
Scarf is worked back and forth in rows, alternating A-colored stripes of hdc and B-colored sections of V-sts. The piece may curve when V-st sections are worked - but don't worry, the piece will straighten out again when the next hdc stripe is completed.
Pockets are worked separately, in the same pattern as Scarf, and crocheted to Scarf when border is worked.
To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete the st. Proceed with new color. Carry color not in use carefully up side of piece. Cover carried strands when working border.
