I assume you mean dtr as the dc are rather dense and hard to count, but looking at a larger picture, there are definitely 8 dtr in each dtr row.

Thanks. Whole thing is very weirdly written.

The picture does not match the instructions. There are 7 dc in the pic, not 8. Could this be the problem?

Any stitch ending in tog(ether) in a decrease. In this case you are combining the next three stitches into one dtr (the same way a dc2 tog turns the next 2 stitches into 1 dc) To decrease any stitch, work the stitch until the second to last step (before you draw through all loops) then move on to the next stitch and repeat for however many stitches you are decreasing then draw through all loops.

Ashley,

It’s free hanging though I’m pondering adding a large button or toggle to the end so it can be “buttoned.”

Irene, did you connect it at the end so it’s a neck scarf, or is it free hanging?

Ashley …… I finally gave up trying to figure it out. Being in a hurry to complete the scarf, I opted to simply forget about the hoursglass patterns and work the entire thing in dtr stitches from beginning to end. I’m happy with the finished product but I hated giving up on the pattern as written.

How are you decreasing when you dtr3tog if you are adding 3 dtrs in one stitch? Can someone write out what to do for a dtr3tog because I googled it and can’t find anything that explains what to do.

I can’t seem to figure out how to do this. It looks very sloppy.

You’re doing two decreases over the next six stitches.
