Put a shell row on both ends and then it will look the same.

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.
