- S - Narrower scarf at 22.56 cm / 8.9 in height, perfect for a delicate look or for children
- M - Wider scarf at 33.08 cm / 13.0 in height, more coverage and warmth for adults
The circumference is adjustable - simply work more or fewer rows until you reach your desired length. Add or subtract rows in multiples of 4 to maintain the cable pattern repeat.
