There was enough interest, so I wrote up the pattern. I’ve reviewed the instructions and the charts, but no one else has knit it yet. So, please tell me if you find any errors.
While I knit this in a worsted weight yarn (which was fast and took a week even with all the botched versions of the edging) I think this would be lovely in sock weight or even lace weight.
The stitch pattern really works nicely with variegated yarns, but would still be lovely in a solid too.
Enjoy the pattern!

Thank you for the pattern. The scarf is lovely. I’ve been wondering as I peruse your blog how you came up with the name “Savannah Chik”. You see, I’m in Savannah (GA) and it was quite a surprise to go to your blog from Google and find you in Philly.

Thank you for sharing your pattern with us! I really like the look of this scarf and I am wondering what it would look like in fingering weight yarn….hmmm.
That’s a gorgeous pattern! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog for a while now but I think this is the first time I’m leaving a comment. Thank you for posting the scarf pattern. It’s lovely and I hope to make it once the holidays are over. I would never have guessed from the photos it was knit with worsted weight yarn. Gotta try that.
LOVE you! (In a knitterly way, of course.)
thanks!!!! I think the yarn I have may be just right for this!
Thanks for making this pattern available. It is so pretty.
In the “important” box you speak of a Double YO and yet there doesn’t seem to be a Double YO in the pattern anywhere. Am I miss reading something?
