Swilly is written for two sizes. The sample size shown is the wider 11.25” (28.5 cm) version. While the thinner version calls for 3 skeins, it should use very little of the 3rd skein, so you may elect to make a slightly shorter scarf out of just 2 skeins.

Swilly is worked back and forth in one piece. It is fully reversible; while knitting, you may find it helpful to place a marker identifying the right side of your work.
