[Nfb-krafters-korner] crochet

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

 I have a nice row of chain stitches at one end and the other end has my double loops, as if I was to do another row.  I have a loop on my hook.  I really do not want to leave those double loops exposed, since they are large and things could get caught in them.  My only conclusion would be to do an over cast through each stich  to bring the double loops close together.
I wish there was a way to make the nice chain like at the other end.

The self striping red and white is really pretty!!!
I call it my peppermint or candy cane scarf!

If I am understanding what you are asking, you want the chain side to look like, say the single crochet row you ended on. If this is so, single crochet along the chain side. Make your tails long enough to tuck under as you crochet along that chain stitch. Then take the end with a small  crochet hook and feed it stitch by stich inbetween the loops of the stiches you just finished. Evrything gets tucked under. Then once you have eight or so stitches of your tail tucked under, gently pull the rest of the tail maybe a half inch and cut the tail off. Then stretch out where you tugged the yarn and the end should slip in the stitches. I use crochet hooks for lace to tuck the yarn under the stitches.  It looks very neat and smooth. 

Or just add fringe and tuck your end yarn under the fringe. 

warmly,

Beckie or others;

I need to know how to end a croched scarf.  I would like it to look like the beginning, if possible.

Thanks for any help.
