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
