I realize this is a personal choice, but I was curious how wide you knitters and crocheters make your scarves? I tend not to like a wide scarf since I am short and don't have a very long neck - I get all hot and bothered with too much around my neck.

So... what's your usual?

Personally I make mine 6 inches by 36 inches. I can wrap twice and still tuck in my coat. The teens seem to like them about 5ft long or more though lol

Ok - it's not so much the length I was wondering about, but the width - thanks for the responses so far.

I like the width to be a bit wider than the length of my neck, so just about 6 inches, it seems warmer that way

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

mine are about 6-9 inches wide. the one's i've made and the one's i've bought. the skinnier ones just don't "feel right" on me, if that makes sense.

I should make one about two feet wide so I can wrap the whole thing around me when the deep cold hits. lol

It depends on the yarn with me. Most acrylics wools are 6" wide. {approximately}
Fun fur is more like 4", reeeealy thick chunky is up to 8".
The super long {train} scarf I made was about 5".
