Yarn Recommendations

I used a variety of 100% acrylic Double Knit yarn for my Barf Scarf - no specific brand I just mixed and matched

This scarf would work up well with any fibre Double Knit yarn - or even a different weight if you'd like something more chunky/fine! Please feel free to shorter or lengthen the Scarf, too

Yardage

All amounts are approximate, for a finished project made with Weight 3 (Double Knit) yarn and a 3mm and 5.5mm hook

Each Colour - including white - 16g - 48m - 53yds
