Crochet Pattern
With the bigger hook, ch 29. You can chain any multiple of 3+2 if you want to adjust the width of your scarf.
Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, *(ch 3, sk 2 chs, 1 sc in next ch), repeat from * to end, turn.——–9 ch-3 loops
1. Shows the sc sts around which you will work your fpdc sts
Row 2 (see pic 1 above): Ch 3, 2 dc in first ch-3 space, fpdc in the first sc before the ch-3 space. This will give you a slanting stitch in front of your work as shown in pic 2 below. *(sk next sc, 2dc in next ch-3 space, fpdc in the skipped sc before the ch-3 space), repeat from * to end, 1 dc in last sc at the corner, turn.—–9 repeats + 1dc
2. Shows slanting fpdc worked into sc sts
Row 3: Ch 3, sk the next st, 1 sc next st (middle st of the repeat), *(ch 3, sk 2 sts, 1 sc in the next st, the middle st of the repeat), repeat from * until you work a sc in the last repeat, ch 2, 1 sc on top of beginning ch-3, turn. ——9 ch-3 loops+ 1 ch-2 loop
Row 4: Ch 3, sk the adjacent ch-2 loop and the sc after it, 2dc in next ch-3 space, fpdc in the skipped sc before the ch-3 space, *(sk next sc, 2dc in next ch-3 space, fpdc in the skipped sc before the ch-3 space), repeat from * to end, 1 dc in beginning ch-1, turn.—–9 repeats
Row 5: Ch 3, sk the next st, 1 sc next st (middle st of the repeat), *(ch 3, sk 2 sts, 1 sc in the next st, the middle st of the repeat), repeat from * until you work a sc in the last repeat, ch 2, 1 sc on top of beginning ch-2, turn. ——9 ch-3 loops+ 1 ch-2 loop

Pattern Notes
Switch to the 4.5mm hook.
Round 1: Ch 1 at the corner, and distribute sc along the row ends (see pic 4 above) as evenly as possible up to the next corner. Insert your hook into the body of the stitches to avoid leaving holes. When you reach the corner, ch 1, work sc across the foundation chain side up to the next corner, ch 1 at the corner, and distribute sc sts along the row ends to the next corner, ch 1 at the corner, and work along the last row as below:
1 sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog across next 2 sts to end, ch 1 at corner, sl st to first sc. Fasten off.
Now, we will reattach the yarn and work a row along the two longer edges of the scarf. On the WS of your scarf, sl st to the corner and work along a long edge, *(hdc in next st, sl st in next st), repeat from * to next corner. If you end in a hdc, sl st in the same st and fasten off. Repeat on the other long edge.
Adding Tassels
Note: Attach tassels on the RS of the scarf.
I used a small book to make tassels. You can also substitute a thick 5.75-inch-wide cardboard for the book. Wrap the yarn multiple times around the small book or your cardboard. Cut along one side to get many strands of the same length.
Take 2 strands, fold at the middle of the strands, and pull through the edge of the crochet scarf to form a loop, and grab the ends with your hook, and pull through the loop (see pic above). Now tug gently to tighten the loop.
First, add a tassel in each corner st, then add one in every 2nd st. Repeat on both edges, and your scarf is complete, enjoy!
Finishing
Weave in all the tails left.
