You’ve probably seen it on Ravelry already but in case not – here’s how my scarf turned out:

This was a quick and easy pattern even for a beginner like me, I even used 2 colors: a chocolate brown on the base chain and 1st row and on row #5 with a wheat color for rows 2-4 and it came out absolutely beautiful!! Im sending it to my mother for a birthday gift and it makes me look talented lol Thanks for a great pattern.

Hello!!
i’m an internet taught crocheter, i’m having a hard time fiiguring out what a 2trtr stitch is. Is it 2 tr in the same space? thanks
11. kittyboo | November 14, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Hi Pepina,
2trtr means 2 treble trebles into the same stitch. In US crochet terminology, a trtr is called a double treble (dtr).
To make a treble treble stitch: yarn over 3 times then insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through stitch (5 loops now on hook), yarn over and draw through 2 loops (4 loops left on hook), yarn over and draw through 2 loops (3 loops left on hook), yarn over and draw through 2 loops (2 loops remaining), yarn over and draw through final 2 loops.
Hope that makes sense!

Pepina – I think it might possibly have been a typo that confused you. I’ve corrected the pattern above but if you downloaded the pdf (which I’ve now removed) please ignore and refer to the pattern above. Sorry for any confusion. I think my brain must have got a little fried translating the pattern from UK terms to US ones!

Thank you so much for this pattern. I got busy on it right away with some varigated pink and brown baby yarn I had. I used an “F” crochet hook. It turned out so cute. I got compliments on it and directed them to your pattern online.
Lots of cascade scarfs for Christmas this year!
Sincerely,
Jolene
Astoria, OR

Thanks Jolene – you’re very welcome. Glad your scarf turned out so well. I find it amazing to think that people on the other side of the world will be wearing a design I came up with in my living room in Wales!

I made up this scarf as a gift for my sister-in-law. I thought you’d like to see pictures of how it came out.

Thank you for sharing this pattern! It is lovely and beautiful. And EASY!! I made it in a dusty rose using lambs wool yarn (Christmas present) Here’s a photo: http://touchofnectar.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/crochet-project-cascade-scarf/

Hi! I want to make this scarf it’s just so lovely! But I don’t have an L hook.. can a K or N hook work? L hooks are hard to come by in the states. Thanks!

Hi Rene,
Yes, you could switch hook sizes – really depends on what yarn you’re using and how tightly you usually crochet – if you’re using the Sirdar Blur then it might be better to go up a hook size, rather than down (unless you crochet very loosely anyhow), as the smaller hook will produce a tighter fabric and will also mean the scarf is a little narrower. I’d try making a small swatch using each hook and see which you like best – the tighter or looser fabric. I think it’s just a case of experimentation!
Just had a look on ravelry at some of the projects using this pattern and people have used a variety of hook sizes – one person even used a H hook – so I shouldn’t worry too much. Just make sure you swatch before hand so you have an idea how the fabric will look.
Good luck – let me know how you get on!
