Hello and welcome to another chart reading post!
This time I found an interesting crochet chart and the pattern looks like the right fit for a scarf and maybe a throw, though personally I like denser patterns for a throw or a blanket.
I named it Crowns & Tiaras.

Personally, I would make certain changes in rows4 & 5 in particular t make those fans (gaps) smaller, otherwise I think it’s OK.
