  2. I forgot to put the "ch 4, turn" at the end of row 2, I'm sorry. :( The ch 4 counts as a dc plus ch 1. There should be 183 dc in the first row, and I believe there should be 92 dc and 91 ch 1 spaces in row 2.

  6. I was having a problem with the count on this one but it was my error and not yours. After re reading sissie's question and your response I found my problem. I am almost done with this one now and ran out of yarn. I also posted a link on my blog to yours on both the March and April scarves. Thanks!
