Sofluff is a diamond shaped scarf knitted sideways back and forth in one piece, from tip to tip in stockinette stitch with built-in I-cord edges.

The yarns specified in this pattern can be substituted with other yarns of a similar meterage/yardage. The scarf can also be customised to your preferred length by working more or fewer increase and decrease rows. Keep in mind that changing the length will affect the amount of yarn needed.

You can also adjust the suggested needle size to achieve a fabric that you like. Keep in mind that changing the needle size will affect the finished dimensions of the scarf. This pattern is designed for fluffy, lofty yarns, so if you choose a smoother, less lofty yarn, the resulting fabric may be looser and the gauge larger than what is typically expected for the specified yarn weight. Consider adjusting your needle size accordingly.

To make the most of your yarn and minimise leftovers, weigh your yarn before starting and again once you have completed the increase section. Set aside at least the same amount of yarn used for the increase section (preferably a little extra) to ensure you have enough to work the decrease section.
