I just saw your scarf posted on Ravelry - love it! I have a bunch of single skeins of Fleece Artist mohair that I needed a pattern for. Thanks so much for posting and making it free!

This is my first time reading charts. What am I suppose to do in the empty spaces? Thank you
@Ericka
Blank stitches indicate stitches are knit on the right side and pulled on the wrong side.
/ indicates a knit two together; \ indicates a slip, slip, knit;
o is a yarn over.
The fourth sign (which I can't make with my keyboard right now) is Slip1, knit 2 together, pass the slipped stitch over.
Thanks for reading!
