<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Probably one of the most frequently asked questions on the Fiber Flux blog is “How long should I make my scarf?”<\/p>\n That is a great question! And…totally a personal preference too. However, there are a few tricks I like to use, either for myself or for gifting…let’s take a look, shall we?<\/p>\n Measuring tapes work great, but if you don’t have one handy, just use a scrap piece of yarn measured to the appropriate length and keep it with your project as you work. You can hold it up to the scarf as you work the rows.<\/p>\n Years ago my grandmother, who is completely amazing at sewing, showed me a notebook she kept of everyone in the family’s sizing, updating it as needed. If you make things for others, this is a great idea.<\/p>\n One way you could measure is my “hip to hip” method. With measuring tape or scrap yarn, begin at the hip, go around the back (nape) of the neck and back down to the other hip. This is probably the method I use most, see photo below:<\/span><\/p>\n
