I just love 1 cake projects! So few ends to weave in and they work up so quickly. Great for gift giving or as a quick project when you need instant gratification!
The scarf is also light and airy made with filet crochet so this scarf is perfect for throwing on when a chill hits the air in the evening.

Caron Cakes are self striping so they do all the color work for you as well. No need to change colors and weave in ends! With just one evening you could whip one of these scarves up.
The unique diagonal look of this scarf is achieved by adding all of your increases on one side of the scarf. Fun and interesting!
I love the jagged edge on this scarf as well. In this color way it really reminds me of photos of sand dunes at dusk.

I’d like to make this scarf a little wider, how would I adjust the pattern?
Thanks,

I would recommend continuing the increase rows before starting the jagged edges. Once you are at the width you like start with the decrease rows as stated in the pattern. Let me know how it goes! ?
