ABOUT
The Cascade Super Scarf is a classic, knit-like accessory that is perfect for both men and women! It's simple design allows you to wear it with any outfit and its traditional shape makes it timeless. One thing that may not be so ordinary about it, though, is its length. It's a whopping 10 feet long which means you can wrap it up as much or as little as you want, making it perfect for those frigid mornings and warmer afternoons.

1. When switching colors, always "lock" the yarn by placing the old color in front of the new color.
CASCADE SUPER SCARF PATTERN
With color A, chain 25.
ROW 1 (RS): place hook into back bump of 2nd ch from hook, y/o, pull up a loop, *place hook into back bump of next ch, y/o, pull up a loop*, repeat ** across, with color B return pass (See notes.) --- 25 sts

Repeat ROWS 2 & 3 (ending with a ROW 2 repeat) until scarf measures approx. 120 in. (304.8 cm).
Continuing with color A, loosely b/o and f/o. Continue to FRINGE.
FRINGE
With color A yarn, cut 100 strands of yarn approx. 14 in. (35 cm) long.
With RS facing you, attach 2 strands in each st on both ends of scarf by doing the following:
1. Fold 2 strands in half
2. With hook, go through a st on the scarf, grab the middle of the 2 strands and pull through.
3. Grab the 4 ends and pull them through the "circle" you just make with the 2 strands on the other side.
4. Make sure ends are even and pull 4 strands tight.
Once finished attaching fringe, cut them all to the same length.
FINISHING
Weave in all ends and block if necessary.
