You will also need…
- US 9 (5.5 mm), straight or 24-inch circular needles

NOTE: We used the entire skein of Color A for our Small scarf, so if you want to be sure you have enough, consider ordering an extra skein. If you don’t end up needing it, you can return unwound yarn for a refund within 30 days of purchase, or within 6 months, for store credit. Our Return Policy has all the details!

NOTE
ADJUSTING SCARF LENGTH
Want to adjust the length of your scarf? See below for an easy guide, keeping in mind that a longer scarf will require more Color B, and a shorter scarf may require less!
For pockets that hit around the natural waist, knit with Color B until the piece measures approximately the same height as the intended wearer from the cast-on edge. Our Small scarf is 63 inches long and is worn by a 5’2” (62-inch) person.
For pockets that hit at or below the hips, knit with Color B until the piece measures 13-15 inches longer than the height of the intended wearer from cast-on edge. Our Large scarf is 80 inches long and is worn by a 5’7” (67-inch) model.
