Again the scarf is going to be 5 feet long 8 inches wide made w/ medium (4ply) yarn and 9 needles. How many stitches do i start with? If i made it 6.5 inches wide, how many stitches would that be? Thanks

with worsted weight yarn and size 9 needles i would say to cast on 32 stitches for the scarf to be 8 inches wide. to have the scarf to be 6.5 inches wide you would cast on 26 stitches.

    Cut a piece of fabric or paper that it 8 inches wide.
    Knit until it is that size.
    Knit Like the Wind and keep measuring until you reach 5 feet.
