Introduction

This scarf was inspired by the hyperbolic crochet coral reef exhibition which recently appeared in the UK. Sadly I didn’t get the chance to go see it for real but I did manage to create a scarf using the hyperbolic crocheting technique.
It’s worked as a continuous piece, one “motif” at a time. It’s great technique because you do not get the over-stretched central chain which seems to be the bane of scarves worked along the length. Also you just keep adding motifs until you are satisfied with the length (or you run out of yarn).
It’s best worn in a cow hitch or lark’s head - fold in half lengthwise, wrap around neck and feed loose ends through the loop to fasten.
Finally this scarf has a life of its own. With wear the stitches bunch closer together, making each motif even curlier and more distinct. The scarf will look a bit narrower as a result.
Materials List

• At least 200g (7oz) of Aran-weight yarn (13 wpi). See notes for fibre content.
  
• 6mm (J-10) hook
  
• scissors
  
• yarn needle
  

Finished Size

Max width: 5in (14cm) Length: 60in (153cm) Dims are for 18 motifs - you could make more or fewer!
Gauge


Gauge (tension) is unimportant for this project
Notes

Choice of yarn: I’ve only ever made this scarf using spoils from the charity shop (including old chunky sweaters I’ve unravelled). You could use any fibre as long as it has a reasonable tensile strength (you should not be able to break it just by tugging it with your bare hands). Because the stitches bunch together over time more of the chain stitches are exposed and I suspect that some pure wools may not be able to take the strain, though I’d be happy to be proven wrong!
The yarn shown is a long-discontinued yarn (Twilleys Capricorn Candyfloss, 50% nylon, 50% acrylic) that turned up in a mixed bag I bought from the charity shop for a few quid.
All stitch abbreviations and spellings are UK/British/English. In American a "tr" is a "dc".
Finishing: Blocking is not required.
