Also many times I will use two size needles. Perhaps a 13 or 15 for one and a 19 or 35 for the other. This gives a somewhat lacy effect to a simple scarf. I seldom use a guage for a quick knit scarf. Some great scarves turn out using one strand of any eyielash yarn and one strand of something else as the carrier and knitting the two strands together. Good luck and enjoy.
