Going another direction here. Since my brain is always coming with ideas. I am in several charities and I am looking for patterns for scarves for children say starting from ages 2 and up. I figure the teens can pretty much wear the adults sizes as well. But, the ones under 13 needs downsizing. Anyone have any ideas on sizes lengths of scarves?
I suggest you go to a childrens' clothing shop with tape measure, paper, and pencil and actually MEASURE THEM.
up a swatch with the yarn you want to use and needles that please you. A s= watch of about 20 stitches knit until there is about 2 inches length will b= e a good size swatch. Take a ruler and see how many stitches are in each in= ch across the row. Then all you need to do is multiply the number of stitc= hes per inch by the number of inches wide you want the scarf to be. For ex= ample, if you get 4 stitches per inch across in your swatch, and want the s= carf to be 6 inches wide, multiply 4 by 6, which is 24, and cast on 24 stit= ches. If you get 5 stitches per inch, 6 x 5 would mean 30 stitches. Etc. = Cast on the number of stitches and then just keep on knitting until your sc= arf is as long as you want it to be, and bind off.
