Very Long Ripple Scarf

I just finished this scarf and it came out great! I used navy, baby blue and white. This is a Red Heart free pattern [LW1471] you can see here. I followed this pattern completely but used a K hook instead. It's VERY long, meant to be worn like the pattern showed [see link above]. I did not made the hat to match. 

I love the long strip scarf this pattern makes; it reminds me of the strip afghans I used to crochet in the 90's. I believe this easy pattern can be adjusted to length and enough strips to make a beautiful afghan :D That sounds like a future project for me :D :D :D
