Cascade Scarf

I wanted to make a scarf that was light and airy, soft and romantic. This is what I came up with.

The yarn is Sirdar Blur – not the nicest of yarns, but I had some left over from a previous project and didn’t want it to go to waste. I think the yarn looks best when crocheted with a larger hook, which is why I went for a 8mm – I tried smaller hooks and the fabric they produced just looked too dense and hairy – not a nice effect! It does mean that the spirals are quite floppy though, not like in my ruffle scarf pattern where they have quite a bit of structure. Still, it does drape nicely and I guess the softer spirals fit more with the romantic theme.

The pattern is really simple. I basically just increased every other stitch after I had done a single row of double crochet (US sc) and with each row I increased the height of the stitch. Here is the pattern:
