Pattern Notes

This stitch pattern worked alone would create a length of fabric slanting toward the beginning side of the forward pass. To create the square end of the scarf, short rows are worked over the 1^st 8 rows of the scarf with the foundation row as the base.  

Foundation Row:  ch 34.  
Working into the back bump of each ch st,  yarn over and pull a loop through leaving the loop on your hook. 34 loops on the hook.
RetP – ch1, (yo, pull thru 2 loops) rep (-) to end.

2. es, (tsstl, tss) x2, tss in foundation row x 4. Note: insert hook under both the left leg of the yo & the vertical bar of the etss2tog to create the tss in this row. Use this method throughout.
