Repeat rows 2-5 until the scarf is the length you desire. Mine is 53 inches long. Feel free to make it longer.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
If you do not want to add the surface crochet, that is fine. It will look like this then:
Add the metallic surface stitch:
The metallic yarn is used to crochet over the lacy holes that are around the diamond pattern to bring the diamond more to light.
You start on the bottom and work your way up. Each hole gets one surface crochet, besides the big holes, they get an extra chain. You work your way from the bottom to one side of the edge of the scarf, then you do a 90 degree turn and keep going. You do that until you reach the top.
You do this whole process 4 times in total until all the diamonds are framed with the metallic yarn. Then fasten off and weave in the ends.
You are done.

I have noticed NUMEROUS mistakes in the written instructions. At least one mistake in each row. I would encourage you to go through the written instruction while watching your video so you can catch them all.
Katie, I am sorry for my mistakes. I recently did some changes to my website and some stuff did not get transferred properly. I apologize for that. I fixed the mistakes and it now shows the correct pattern (same as the video). Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it
