I don't really care for men in scarves. I'd rather them be cold and look hotter.

^my brother asked for one for hannukah since he's living in ontario right now. it gets effin' cold.
kungpow, i didn't know i could do that... but i guess it's too late now. i already had to start over again because i made it too wide. i can't really up the needle size because then the scarf would look too holey and i don't think that's a good look for a guy hah

no I mean hold two strands of the yarn you are using together and knit it with a bigger size needle, say a 7 or 8 depending on the yarn you're using.
but if you have already started then yah, I guess it's too late.
Also, if you are making it for functionality rather than for looks then who cares if it is the right length, as long as it wraps around his neck and can tuck into his coat it won't matter, he'll just be happy he's warm.
