yes while this is true sometimes the translation is not in US or UK terms and it is very difficult to understand what stitch is meant

Here's another FYI, I have the English Google translate on a toolbar button and all you do is click on it and it translates with no copying and pasting! Very quick!

Isn't it pretty, Inez? I still would like to try making one in a self-striping yarn. I have some kauni that might be just the thing.

Just an FYI, if you ever find a pattern in a different language you can always go to Google translate and copy the text and paste it into the box and it translates it for you. I have found this VERY helpful. this one is to ch 315 and finish off then with a different color ch 15 then 5 sc attaching to the 15th chain on the original chain then ch 15 and repeat to the end with the ch 15 and finish of and repeat with another color!

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

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.)
