​
Materials/tools used:
Hook-I/9-5.50mm- Personally I like smooth metal hook with a slightly rounded point, like Boye, but it's totally personal preference.
Lion Brand Mandala yarn in Sphinx (weight 3) I've also worked the pattern using scrap yarn, so you'll see photos of both versions. You can also see how it looks in other yarns by viewing photos from my testers here, or some of the photos are below, as well.
Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends
Notes:
The crochet scarf pattern is written in U.S. terms. Stitch counts include beginning/turning chains, and only include stitches on one side. The middle point where the sides meet are indicated (like this) to make it easier to read. Example- (2dc, ch1, 2dc)
Always turn work at the end of each row. The stitch count includes stitches made in center, but does not include the center chain. My photos will have white yarn for all even numbered rows
The ad-free, photo condensed version can be purchased here. I realize some people are more comfortable purchasing from sites they're familiar with. Therefor, I do have this available on Etsy here, but due to the difference in fees, it does cost less through my site. I have an SSL certificate and you'll notice the web address starts with HTTPS, meaning any data entered is encrypted and authenticated, hence, secured.

​
38. With right side facing, (popcorns from row 12 facing up, triangle facing like an ice cream cone), ch1 and sc in first stitch. We are now working across the flat side (the top of the ice cream cone). sc all the way across. Approx 60-75st to the popcorns of row 12, and approx 25-40st to the center. It's ok if these numbers vary- depending on your yarn, tension, and desired look. More stitches will give a more rippled look. 2sc in last st.
​
39. Keep your work facing the same way. ch1 and single crochet backwards once in each single crochet across row 38.
