Other Notes:
Gauge– while gauge is important for size accuracy, for a scarf it is less critical that it match perfectly. Just be aware that minor changes in gauge may alter the amount of yarn required, and alter the length of your scarf!
Check the reference for amount of yarn required for the length of scarf you wish to knit.
You may find that the sides of the scarf want to curl in when you are finished. Make sure to block your scarf when you’re finished so that it lies flat.
This pattern can easily be adjusted to use worsted weight yarn! You will need a smaller needle size to match the gauge listed, or you can keep the needles listed to make it slightly wider and longer.
