    Hi :)
    This scarf is really clever but the pattern is really simple actually :
    you just make one long, really long chain as long as you want your scarf to be. after that, you start another chain, and you decide what size will be the "holes" and the stripes ". For example let's say : holes : 25 chains, stripes : 10 double crochet.

    with the other chain you started and after making it 25 chains (actuelly, this part will be a piece of fringe), you count 25 stitches on the previous long chain and from this point, you make 10 double crochet. then you chain 25, counting 25 stitches on the previous raw, and from this new point you make 10 double crochet. the second raw is attached to the previous one with double crochet from time to time.

    you go like this to the end of the first chain and chain 25 at the end, so you have something looking as a really long ladder.

    now look at the scarf : it is made with lots of chains, linked toguether with regularly spaced double crochet. every start of a new raw makes one piece of fringe.

    (sorry for my bad english ! does this makes sense ?)

    (actually on the picture, you can count the stitches to have exactly the same effect than this one : looks like its 15 chains, and 5 double crochet in between.)

    outch, my english is not so good ! i first thought you were asking how to reproduce this scarf. sorry for the misunderstanding, you probably know well how to do that !

    Gorgeous! I once made a knitted scarf that reminds me if this one. I think I'll try the crochet version too!
