16 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
Pattern is designed to encourage creativity with freeform embroidery. Change color as desired for embroidery.

I LOVED making this scarf! It was one of my first experiences knitting in the round and I could not have been happier with it! I really like the flexibility of it (I have made it as written and a narrower version) and the ability to show off some embroidery is awesome! I think if I were to make the as-written one again, I would use three skeins instead of two, I like to be able to really bundle up in my scarves.
