Crochet Project:  Bicolored Scarf With Circle Motifs

Materials:  Yarn = Caron Simply Soft, Med. (4),  6 0z./170g/315 yds/288 m; 1 skein of each color (A) and color (B).  Please choose your favorite colors.

Crochet Hook = size 4.0mm to 4.25mm

Crochet Technique used:  Continues Crochet.  When making crochet
stitches, hook is always inserted on  any of these: Fl-bl, bl-ul, fl-yol.  The idea is to have a minimum of 2 loops of yarn on hook at all times, so that the stitches are strong and stable.

Please refer to the post, "Crochet Terms And Abbreviations/ Definitions ":
[ = Where crochet instructions to be repeated begins.
] = Where crochet instructions to be repeated ends.   Example: Repeat [ ] Means to do all the instructions within the [ ].
(  ) = repeat instruction/instructions within parenthesis _x_number of times.
* * = repeat instructions within the two asterisks. also writen:  from * to * .
 fl-bl = front loop and back loop
bl-ul = back loop and under loop
fl-yol = front loop and yarn over loop
