You’ll need:
2 colors of contrasting yarn in worsted weight: Main Color or MC (background) and Contrasting Color or CC (image)
4 mm needles
4 mm crochet hook (optional – for adding fringe)

On the chart, red rows are worked in your MC; white rows and blue squares are both worked in your CC (the blue squares
are there only so you can see what the image will look like).

For a scarf with only right-side-up snowboarders:

Read the chart from bottom to top. Odd-numbered rows are read from right to left; even-numbered rows are read from left
to right.
Cast on 40 stitches in MC. Change colors after every 2nd row, alternating between MC and CC and carrying the yarn up the
side.
Follow the chart to complete your first image and then repeat from row 3 until you reach your desired length.
Bind off.
(Optional) To add fringe: cut 80 lengths of CC, each 20 cm (8”) long. Using crochet hook, loop 2 strands through 1 corner of
scarf and tie off. Repeat 19 times across short edge of scarf, evenly spacing the fringe. Repeat with remaining 40 strands
on other short edge of scarf. Trim fringe if necessary.

For a scarf with alternating right-side-up and upside-down snowboarders (as shown in the picture):
Odd-numbered rows are read from right to left; even-numbered rows are read from left to right for both right-side-up and
upside-down images.
Cast on 40 stitches in MC. Change colors after every 2nd row, alternating between MC and CC and carrying the yarn up the
side.
Follow the chart from bottom to top to complete your first image (right-side-up snowboarder).
*To create the second image as an upside-down snowboarder, work each 2 rows in a color band moving down from Rows
83/84 to Rows 1/2. REMEMBER TO CONTINUE READING RIGHT-TO-LEFT FOR ODD-NUMBERED ROWS AND LEFT-TO-RIGHT FOR
EVEN-NUMBERED ROWS. (For example, work Row 83 from right to left and then 84 from left to right; skip to Row 81 and
work from right to left and then Row 82 from left to right; skip to Row 79 and work from right to left and then Row 80
from left to right; etc. to Rows 1/2) Work the 3rd image (right-side-up snowboarder) from Row 3 to Row 86. Repeat from *
until you reach your desired length ending after a completed image.
Bind off.
(Optional) To add fringe: cut 80 lengths of CC, each 20 cm (8”) long. Using crochet hook, loop 2 strands through 1 corner of
scarf and tie off. Repeat 19 times across short edge of scarf, evenly spacing the fringe. Repeat with remaining 40 strands
on other short edge of scarf. Trim fringe if necessary.

Wear with pride!
