Repeat R4. Then do more v-stitches as follows:
R1(F):Ch3, *skip next ch-2 sp, dc on next ch-2 sp; ch2, dc on same ch-2 sp. Ch1, dc on next sc, ch2, dc on same sc, ch1.* Repeat until there are 7 V-stitches. End with ch2, dc on first chain of turning chain.
R2(F): Ch5, * skip next ch-2 spp, dc on next ch-2 sp; ch2, dc on same sp. Ch2 * Repeat * * until there are 7 V-Stitiches. End with ch2, dc on 2nd ch of turning chain.

HOW TO ATTACH A BEAD:
After making the three dc for the shell stitch, withdraw the hook from the loop; using a small crochet hook (2.75mm), pick up the bead, then insert it into the vacated loop. Draw this loop into the bead then make ch1 to close the stitch. Withdraw the small hook and reinsert the big hook into the vacated loop and resume the instructions for completing the shell stitch as written in R4(FB) instructions. SEE VIDEO.
Making The Other Half Of The Scarf: NOTE: TURN WORK RIGHT SIDE UP.
Attach the remainder of the yarn on the first stitch of the first chained loop of the foundation loops which was made at the beginning of the project. Leave 8 inch tail. SEE VIDEO ON HOW TO ATTACH THE YARN.
