How many stiches for a child's scarf?

The number of stitches for a child's scarf will depend on the desired width of the scarf and the gauge of the yarn you are using. Typically, a child's scarf can range from 6-8 inches wide. It is best to make a gauge swatch to determine the number of stitches needed to achieve the desired width, and then multiply that by the width of the scarf you want to create.
