Suede Textured Scarf

I used a K hook and 2 skeins of Lion Suede in a solid color. If you use a multi color skein, the scarf will require more yarn unless you make your starting chain shorter. Gauge is not important in this pattern.

(Multiples are 2 + 4)
*Chain three at the beginning of each row counts as the first dc.
Special stitches used:
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc)
Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc)

Chain 16
Row 1: Dc in fourth chain from hook and in each chain across, chain 3, turn. (Skipped 3 chains counts as the first dc). 14 dc.
Row 2: Skip first dc, *fpdc around next dc, bpdc around next dc, repeat from * to last stitch. Dc in top of ch-3. Chain 3, turn. 14 dc.
Row 3: Skip first dc, *bpdc around next dc, fpdc around next dc, repeat from * to last stitch. Dc in top of ch-3. Chain 3, turn. 14 dc.
Remaining rows: Repeat rows 2 and 3 for length of scarf.

Edging and fringe are optional. I only used fringe on the multi-colored one, but it took more than 2 skeins of yarn.
