A Source of Fun and Frustration

I have been teaching myself to crochet for 3 months. I have made a couple of blankets and a hat so I was feeling pretty good about my progress until... I purchased a pattern book with a pattern for a beautiful hat and scarf set. I can't figure the darn thing out! The first part of the scarf is easy enough but at the end of the row there are some strange instructions that I just can't understand. I tried writing the instructions out long hand, but that didn't work. So I'm stuck. GURRR. Oh well, I will keep working on the blanket I started to rebuild my confidence. Hopefully I will be up to taking another look at the scarf pattern when I'm done.
