• Ca. 500 g of any type of yarn – e.g. Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk (4 ply) (170m / 50g)
• Crochet hook in matching size, e.g. 4.5 mm

Gauge:
For this pattern there is no predetermined gauge you need to follow. The stitch pattern can be adjusted to any length and width of the scarf and almost any yarn weight.
