This scarf looks like a dragon’s tail with its jagged edge and the pointed ends. The crescent shape wraps perfectly around the neck or the shoulders and gives the scarf a nice drape.
The size can easily be adjusted by choosing different yarn or by crocheting fewer or more pattern repeats.

This pattern is charted. Chart keys in US terms and UK terms.
