Cat Scarf Pattern

SallyJ (a regular here)

Recently someone made and posted a picture of a "boa" cat scarf. I thought that I had bookmarked this but did not. I do have a pattern but can anyone answer for me if 36" is too long for a child's scarf? She is 7 years old.

Thank you everyone.

Hi Sally, I guess if she makes a couple of turns around her neck it should be ok. Not sure though. Good luck.

I believe if you have her hold her arms out to the sides, you can measure from fingertips to fingertips to get a good length. Adults are generally 5 feet long if that helps

No, that is not the scarf. It is made from boa yarn and fun fur.

Thank you everyone for the replies and suggestions. I guess if an adult size is approx 5' a child's is probably 3' (36").
The pattern is called Snuggle Cat Scarf.

I just got a pattern called Cuddly Cat Crochet Scoodie with Pockets. It says for a childs size, it should be made as long as the child is tall plus a few extra inches for when they grow. http://www.mooglyblog.com/cuddly-cat-scoodie/ can be found at mooglyblog.com

I read that the rule of thumb is that the scarf can be as long as the owner is tall.

That is very interesting, I never knew that. Will have to measure all the scarves I made... :lol: :lol:

I had to check your post as I wasn't sure whether you were knitting a scarf for a cat LOL

It's on Ravelry. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snuggle-cat-scarf
Really cute.
I searched for cat scarf boa and it was the lone result.

The striped cat scarf pattern that Knitcrazydeborah posted is 36 inches long and is shown on a young boy and looks just about right for a 7 year old.

I don't think the fourth Doctor was as tall as his scarf. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is a free Crochet pattern. Not the same as the knitted on your talking about. I checked the knitted on on Ravelry and it is $2.99.
