Hello Ratcha!

Thanks for replying so quickly. I found your scarf on Knit Picky Patterns and they called it The Turkish Scarf so that's why I did when I wrote you. It's a free pattern site and frequently they change the names from the knitter's original one.

This is link to see your scarf on their site. http://www.allfreeknitting.com/Knit-Scarves/Turkish-Stitch-Scarf

Now that I have the gauge and approximate length info of your original cowl, I am going to try figuring out how many stitches to cast on and knit it in the round. Wish me luck and thanks again for your help!

Best,
Janet

Hi Janet,

I think you must have referred to the Happy New Year Scarf since it's the only one I used a Turkish Stitch Pattern. Where did you find the pattern from?

In the pattern I mentioned the gauge of 4.5-5 sts per inches depending on your knitting tension. I used #9 (5.5mm) needle. The needle I used for this scarf is a bit bigger than suggested by the yarn because I want it to be loose. The turkish stitch is very sketchy so it can stretch pretty far out. I have to admitted I didn't really pay much attention to the gauge at all. I just roughly how wide I wanted the scarf to be and knitted it away.

So, Sorry about not giving you the exact answer you want and I gave the scarf to a friend already. I would say it width is about 18 inches more or less. For the length, I don't really know but it took 2 balls of yarn.

I hope you have fun making it. Would love to see it when you're done.

Happy Knitting!

Ratcha
