GAUGE:
8 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). 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.

Basic Scarf Reviewed by Marijean Hislop on 2011-01-05
I have found most scarfs roll. Since this is so thick it is easy to lay the ends flat against a coat & it tends to stay quite well. I made one for each of my daughters for Christmas & they love them ... more than I do. One asked if I'd make another for her in a different color as did my grandaughter. I did find that adding one more stitch to the edging on each side did help the rolling problem a little.
