This pattern is a variation of the Cool Breezes Cowl, It creates a light, lacy fabric by knitting back and forth. Gauge is not essential. You want a fabric that is loose enough to be breezy, but to still keep its shape.

If you use a different weight yarn, go down a needle size or two.

Of course, you can make your scarf narrower or wider by adding or subtracting stitches in groups of 5 plus your edge stitches. However, keep in mind that the border requires an even number of stitches. If they don’t match you will need to add or subtract a stitch when you move from the border to the body.

Your length can be longer or shorter by stopping when you have reached your desired length or you run out of yarn!
