Chapter Text
The concept of the crochet code is that each letter is represented by a duo of stitches. With five different stitches used to compose the code that's only 25 different variants, so C has been cut. Replace C with a S or K as needed.
There are no numbers: just write out the numbers as words! This is definitely to error-proof numbers from translation difficulties and not because I forgot numbers existed while making the code.
You can have the row be as long as you want, this isn't a "one word per row" kind of thing. Just set up a chain row about as long as you'd like your piece to be wide and go!
Spaces and periods are increases, which necessarily adds more stitches. Don't really worry too much about that. If you want to keep track of how many letters are in each row, and do every row about the same number of letters. Otherwise, just end the row early if there's not enough space! Or end it early because you want it to look extra fucked up! The jagged edges are a sign that this is a Secret Message Scarf (TM) and also makes it look like a bad scarf nobody needs to worry about. Even more secreter!
Start each row with a chain and double crochet. That means that you don't need to worry about trying to "read" the start of every row. Also, end each row with a double crochet (this is in case of a final character ending in a chain, and so that it's an even number of stitches with the starting chain and double crochet).
There is also a variant — slip stitch is easier to "read" as definitely different from the other stitches, but half-double crochet is definitely easier to crochet back to back with other stitches. Feel free to swap slip stitches for half-double if you like!
