Gauge
16 sts, 32 rows = 4” in garter stitch (knit every row) on US Size 5 (3.75mm) knitting needle after blocking.
Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge. I “wet blocked” the scarf so that the stitches relaxed and made a very drapey scarf. To ensure your scarf will be the same as ours, see the “Finishing” section on how to wet block.
