From crochet.about.com - Little Triangles Scarf

Pattern Created by Sandi Marshall

Using v-stitches - In this scarf pattern, openwork and solid sections form the look of triangle shapes, with accents of front post treble stitches creating raised lines on portions of the design. This scarf is my variation of my Little Triangles Afghan Square, which I had designed in November 2006.

Printing: If only the ad at the top of the page prints, try this: before choosing the Print command, click on the pattern portion of the page (tells your printer what part of the page you want to print), then choose Print. Use Print Preview (click on File, then Print Preview at the top of your Internet browser) if you want to see ahead of time what will print.

Materials Used In The Example: About 4 oz. worsted weight yarn, US size H hook - In the example, I used TLC Essentials worsted weight yarn in color no. 2820, Robin Egg (by the makers of Red Heart yarn)
Finished Size: About 4 inches wide x 60 inches long (not counting the fringe) or 67 inches long with the tied chain fringe shown in the example
Gauge: 2 dc rows = 1 inch, 7 dc = 2 inches
Abbreviations: bpdc = back post double crochet, ch = chain, dc = double crochet, ea = each, fptr = front post treble, sc = single crochet, sl st = slip stitch, v-st = v-stitch

How To Slip Stitch (sl st) = Insert hook in stitch, wrap yarn over hook, pull yarn through the stitch and through the loop on the hook, at the same time.

V-Stitch: In this pattern, a v-stitch is made by crocheting (dc, ch 1, dc) all in one same stitch.

How to Do Post Stitches: http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa060797.htm
How to do front post treble stitches: (fptr) - Wrap yarn twice around hook, insert hook (from front to back to front) around the post of the stitch indicated, yarn over hook, pull yarn through from behind the post of the stitch, (yarn over hook, pull yarn through 2 loops) 3 times, which completes the post stitch as a treble stitch.

Edges: If desired, with the right side of the scarf facing you, slip stitch in each stitch along each long edge, to give a finished look to the edges. Keep the slip stitches loose enough so that the slip stitches will not cause the edge to buckle.
Fringe: To add the crocheted chain fringe as shown in the example, follow the instructions on http://crochet.about.com/od/bytype/ss/chnfringe.htm. There are step-by-step photos included, showing how to tie the fringe into the tied pattern shown in the example (on the step-by-step page, click the link named Next under each photo to see the next photo step for tying the fringe).

If you would prefer to add traditional fringe made of yarn strands, the following link gives instructions and a photo showing how to add that type of fringe: http://crochet.about.com/od/clothingforwomen/ss/swskscarf_4.htm (scroll down that page a little for the photo showing the fringe how-to)
