my feeling is always better to be a little too big than a little too small. Besides, if this scarf is meant to be warm and utilitarian, then bigger is better!

Branching Out Scarf
and so many other things I can't keep track
I think, since I'm using size 9's to make it and it's not quite as tight as I'd like it, I'm gonna go down to 8's. Which will make it just a little smaller. That'll be better.
Time to frog again.
for a guys scarf bigger is always better, maybe not blanket sized, but pretty close. when i make my scarves for myself i like it just under my nose down to my collar bone and when making my wife's scar hers is about the width of her neck. and length mines hangs down to my waist on both sides and hers hangs to about mid torso.

"Originally a male-only occupation, the first knitting trade guild was started in Paris in 1527. Knitting became a household occupation with the growing popularity of knitted stockings and by the end of the 1600s, one to two million pairs of stockings were exported from Britain to other parts of Europe."
:devil: Well, I've got to be thorough. That way she can't complain about me knitting ever again. :XY:
