Planning

1. **Design Strategy**: Beginner-friendly rectangular scarf in garter stitch (knit every row) using worsted yarn. Named Sophie Scarf; simple, reversible, no shaping or special stitches. 2. **Construction Plan**: Worked flat in one piece from cast-on to bind-off. 3. **Quality Assurance**: - Confirm cast-on matches gauge × width - Ensure length instruction is clear for beginners - Garter lies flat; no edge curling issues 4. **Final Calculations**: Gauge 18 sts = 4"; CO 36 sts for 8" width; length 60"; ~300 yd worsted; US 8 / 5 mm needles.

Verification

[PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS] 1. **Completeness**: All template sections present (Title, Materials, Gauge, Finished Size, Abbreviations, Pattern, Finishing). 2. **Consistency**: 36 sts ÷ 4.5 sts/in = 8" width ✓; garter throughout; length worked to 60". 3. **Constraints**: Beginner, knit only, worsted, simple rectangle — all met; garter default used. 4. **Safety**: Math consistent; no complex transitions; yardage within worsted scarf range. 5. **Fix before writing**: None required; numbers final.
