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.
