Second half of Scarf:
Work as for 1st half of Scarf leaving long tail for grafting. Graft live stitches of both halves together (this will be the middle of the scarf). Block scarf matching finished measurements to open eyelets at points on each end of scarf.
Special Note:
The knots shown on the chart at rows 171-175 where the two halves of the scarf are grafted represent my mother's initials in the Braille alphabet (GwG). She is a breast cancer survivor. The Braille alphabet is included for personalization if desired. Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille for more information .
