So, say your scarf is right now 12 inches wide and you have 25 stitches. 25 stitches divided by 12 inches is 2.0855. Well, all those decimals are annoying, so you can just round it to the nearest half inch. That means 2. That's your gauge - 2 stitches per inch.
Cut one piece of fabric to match the length and width you want your lap scarf to be. Add 2 extra inches to the length and width of the fabric for seam allowance. For example, if you desire to make a lap scarf that is 18-by-18 inches, the size of your fabric should be 20-by-20 inches. Popular lap scarf sizes are 18-by-18, 24-by-24 and 27-by-27. Make a 1/2-inch fold on each side of the fabric. Place straight pins in the fabric to secure the folds in place.
