How wide should a scarf be for a woman

Experience, needle size, and yarn length make all the difference when it comes to how long it takes to make a scarf. If you're just beginning, for example, you may want to give yourself a few days to work on your scarf several hours per day.

Several different stitches are needed to knit a scarf, but many are used with U.S. size nine and seven needles along with two or three 50-gram skeins of yarn. 

How Long Scarves Should Be

Scarves don't have to be a particular length or width to be successful.

For your first scarf, you can knit until you run out of yarn or get tired of knitting the garter stitch. Scarves are versatile and can be made short or long depending on the purpose of knitting them.

Traditionally, a scarf goes tip to tip.

To do this, try holding your arms out so that the scarf reaches from your left finger across to your right one.
