Yarn

I recommend using a DK yarn for the scarf, but you can work in any weight, just test your tension to make the width of scarf you want.

DK Yarn options

  • Stylecraft Special DK - 2 balls in Claret
  • Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK -  4 balls in Ruby
  • Paintbox Yarns Simply DK - 2 balls in Red Wine
  • Paintbox Yarns Wool Blend DK - 2 balls in Loveheart
  • Lion Brand Truboo - 2 balls in Grenadine
  • Joann’s Big Twist Shine Light Weight - 2 balls in Wine

Hooks & Notions

  • DK yarn: 4-4.5mm hook
  • Aran yarn: 5-5.5mm hook
  • Chunky yarn: 6-7mm hook

Measurements

Measurements are for a DK weight yarn.

WIDTH: 30 sts = 20cm/7.5ins
LENGTH: 200 rows = 150cm/60ins

If you want to make your scarf, wider or longer, then simply add stitches in multiples of 2 to follow the same stitch pattern, then only stop when you’re happy with the length, but you will likely need more yarn to allow for it.
