Materials
- 10.0 mm (Size 15) Circular Needles

Note: If you do not have circular needles you can just use straight needles to knit the piece and sew the ends together with a tapestry needle.

Tips & Variations
- Adjusting size: To make the scarf wider or narrower, add or reduce the number of rounds/rows. To change the circumference, cast on more or fewer stitches—try a small swatch first to check how the yarn and needles behave.
- Joining with straight needles: Use mattress stitch or a neat whipstitch to join the cast-on and cast-off edges for an invisible seam.
- Evening stitches: Gently blocking the finished piece (steam or wet block according to the yarn label) can help even out stitches and improve drape.
- Care: Follow the yarn label for washing and drying instructions. For delicate or novelty yarns, hand wash and lay flat to dry when in doubt.
- Styling: Wear it looped once for a long, relaxed look or doubled for a snug, warm fit. Super-bulky scarves also work well draped over a coat as a statement accessory.
