Instructions for Ruffled Edges:
Row 1: Tie yarn into corner of one of the scarf ends and ch 3. Work a dc in the same space. Work 2 dc in each space across. (Note: On this row spaces are formed from the posts of each dc when scarf was worked lengthwise)
Row 2: Ch 3 and turn. Work a dc in first st, then 2 dc in each st across. Work 2 dc in t-ch.
Repeat row 2 twice more and fasten off.
Repeat ruffle for other end of scarf.

Row 2: Ch 3 and turn. Work 2 dc in the first st. Work 3 dc in each st across and 3 dc in t-ch. Fasten off.
Blossom will begin to coil as you work. Following this natural coil, keep tails intact and use them to stitch flower together with a tapestry needle. Do not weave tails in yet and proceed to assembly instructions below.
Using a piece of matching yarn, sew blossom to scarf just to the left of the keyhole area. Weave in all ends.
Happy crocheting lovelies!

I bought some of Mrs. Crosby's yarn for this scarf. It's beautiful. Unfortunately, I got it so tangled I was unable to use it. I sat for a couple of days trying to get it untangled. Do you have any tips on how to unwind this yarn without it tangling so bad? I'm fairly new to crocheting and this is the first time I've tried yarn that comes wound like this.
