QQ Mini Scarf 01

SIZE GUIDE

NOTES

You can use any yarn you have on hand that gives you the desired width and that you feel comfortable wearing around your neck.

You don’t need to do actual swatching here. Simply use your yarn and preferred needles to knit the scarf according to rows 1-28 of the chart on page 3. Then, check to see if the width meets your needs (suggested: approx. 6.5-9 cm / 2.5-3.5 inches). If it is, keep working; if not, change the size of your needle to get your desired width, and start again. Weigh and measure the length of your piece, estimate if your yarn is enough or not.

Since the scarf only requires a small amount of yarn, it’s a good way to use yarn that’s left over from knitting socks and other items. Let your imagination run wild and use US 6-7 needles to play with own yarn to determine the best choice for you.

The scarf can be worn on either side.
