Tips

  • To change colors, work the last yarn over of the last stitch of the round with the new color.
  • Make a gauge swatch to ensure your scarf will be the desired size. While the stitch counts are math-verified, the final fit is not guaranteed without meeting gauge.
  • Place a stitch marker in the first and last stitch of a round to help keep track of your stitch count, especially if you are a beginner.
