Finished scarf is about 6 inches wide and 60 inches long, excluding fringe, which adds about 12 inches to each side. I used three balls, but the third was only for the fringe, so if you don’t want fringe you can use two.

This pattern was on About.com (which no longer exists) and has been deleted from their site, but for now it can still be found on the Internet Archive. They redirect and delete pages a lot so you may want to download/print to save.
