this is the ultimate scarf/cowl/collar! it will stay put no matter what you do, no matter where you go, no matter how old you are!

Gauge: 17st in 4inches /10cm in stockinette stitch (row gauge is not important in this case)

The samples were made using Garnstudio Drops Big Merino and 5mm / US6 knitting needles, Caron Big Cakes and 5mm / US6 knitting needles, Garnstudio Drops Air and 5mm / US6 knitting needles.

You will need: Aran yarn, knitting needles to obtain the gauge (please make sure you make a gauge swatch!) for knitting in the round, darning needle to weave in the yarn ends.

Please make a gauge swatch to make sure you match the gauge! The needle size will vary from yarn to yarn and from knitter to knitter! Please check your yarn label to see the needle size the yarn manufacturer recommends to obtain the gauge, make a gauge swatch and adjust the needle size if needed.

Regarding the sizing: the scarf is stretchy; yet the cast on and bind off edge has to be stretchy enough to go over the wearer’s head. It will fit most of those who are in their according age/size. 5+ size will stretch to fit most adult heads (up to 60cm / 23.5in circumference).
