A: We're so glad to hear you were able to successfully customize the scarf pattern to achieve your desired 32" length! It's great that chaining 71 instead of 61 worked for you. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've passed your feedback along to our Design team, as they value and consider all suggestions for improvement. As a general tip, checking the gauge before starting a project is always a good idea. If your gauge doesn't match the pattern's gauge, you can adjust your hook size to achieve the correct dimensions. This can be especially helpful when aiming for a specific finished size without changing the pattern. Happy crafting!
