Crochet a fluted scarf: free pattern

Get two looks from this fine mohair-and-silk scarf; let the edges flute for a soft frilly effect, or let it twist for a pretty rope of bell shapes.

Increasing along one edge makes a deep frill that automatically curls around to give a soft fluted effect. The scarf is worked in treble crochet on a chain and double crochet base.
