Seeing as the world didn’t end, it seems that we can carry on with our Advent scarf. That’s a good thing, since I’d hate to have left you all without the last four days of the pattern.

Today, we have a rather simple section, since it uses half-double crochet. However, we have the added twist of just going through the front loops.

If you don’t know what that means… Look at the top row of yesterday’s pattern and you will see little V-shapes along the top. We want to use just the one closer to us today. Even when you turn your work, you continue to work in the loop closer to you.

Abbreviations
Ch = chain
Sc = single crochet
Hdc = half-double crochet
FLO = front loops only

Instructions:
Row 102-105: turn, ch3, hdc in FLO of each st across
Row 106: turn, ch1, sc across (both loops now)

By using just the front loops, we get an almost ribbed design.
