I found a photo of a cool scarf, but there was no information on who made it, what pattern was used, or anything. So, I had to reverse engineer it.

I never wrote the pattern down as I was crocheting, so below is my attempt to write it out by looking at the finished product. Please use this pattern with caution, and if you think there is a mistake, let me know so I can correct it. Thanks a bunch!

Enjoy!

Materials:
100gm of a fingering weight yarn, cashmere & silk blend. I used Knit One Crochet Too, Richesse et Soie, but it’s now discontinued.
