About the yarn: StylecraftLove You is a 100% cotton aran weight yarn, that creates a beautiful, variegated fabric with good drape.  Each 100g ball is approx. 210m (229 yards).  I used a little over 1 ball for size stated.  A smaller scarf may only require 1 ball.

You can buy the yarn here... (affiliate link).

Special Stitches:

• Herringbone double crochet – yo, insert hook into stitch and pull up a loop, pull 1^st loop through 2^nd loop on hook, yo and pull through 1^st loop, yo and pull through remaining 2 loops
• Herringbone double crochet 2 together - yo, insert hook into next st, pull up a loop, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, insert hook into next st, pull up a loop, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo, pull through remaining loops

Other notes: 

• The scarf is worked flat in herringbone double crochet throughout and the ch2 at start of row counts as a stitch, don’t forget to work into this at the end of each row
• Sizing given makes a long scarf to fit an adult.  The pattern may be easily adjusted to any size
• You can even make this with other weights of yarn, just use a slightly larger hook size than recommended on your yarn ball band (this makes the stitches more lacy looking) and follow measurements instead of stitch and row counts
• It may behoove you to make tassels first to ensure you have enough yarn
• A stitch marker may be used to help keep track of increases and decreases

Savannah Yarn by Stylecraft

About the yarn:  Stylecraft Savanna is a super soft, self-striping, aran weight yarn.  It is 100% cotton and each 100g ball is approx. 165m (180yds).  Any aran weight yarn may be used for this pattern.  You can even experiment with different yarn weights if you wish, just use the needle size recommended on the yarn ball band.  Scarf shown is knitted in colourway Canyon.

Other notes:  The size of your scarf may be easily adjusted.  When working increases and decreases you may not always be able to do them exactly in the centre, do not worry this is ok, if there are 2 stitches in the centre just pick one.  If you are working from just one ball of yarn, it may be wise to weigh your project after finishing the increases.  This way you know exactly how much yarn you need to save for the decreases.
