ruffled scarf
#13
When I made mine, I used a 9. Found some bamboo needles in 10 and switched to that size thinking it wouldn't make a difference. Well, the scarves I made with the 10's were a bit shorter than the ones made with the 9s. Not that it mattered, just an observation because I thought with predetermined holes it wouldn't make a difference.

The needle size is very interchangeable. I have used anywhere from a 4 to a 10. The size of the loops will help determine size. I also have cast on only 5 stitches to make a very long skinny scarf. This is a fun scarf to knit and a huge hit! Made over a dozen different ones for xmas. Enjoy

I can't tell you all how many of these ruffled scarves I've made and given away to friends and co-workers. I think the knitted ones take longer to make (about 3 hours) but they are more fluffier. I have found that the wooden knitting needles with the plastic tubing connecting both needles is great to keep the stitches from slipping off so I can carry my unfinished scarves around and work on them during break times. They really are fun to do and the different colors/brands keeps me from getting bored.

It doesn't really matter because the holes in the Sashay yarn are so large. The finished scarf is lacey, so needle size doesn't matter.
