SIZE Short (long)
LENGTH 170 (220) cm [66. 93 (86.61) inches] from tip to tip.
WIDTH Approx. 34 cm [13.39 inches] (measured at the middle point).
GAUGE 17 sts x 28 rows in garter stitch on 5,5 mm [US 9] needles = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 = inches].
NEEDLES 5,5 mm [US 9] circular needle 60 or 80 cm [24 or 32 inches]
YARN For this scarf you will need approx. 440 (550) meter [481 (601) yards] of a worsted weight yarn. I used a fluffy yarn with merino fibers blown into a mesh tube. It is important to choose an extra soft yarn since you are going to wear the scar close to your neck. I recommend 200 (250) g Snefnug from CaMa Rose (50 g = 110 m [120 yards]) Ore 200 (250) g Eco Soft from Isager (50 g = 125 g [136 yards])
