Too short for a scarf

[Purlesque]

I started knitting a lace pattern scarf in cashmere, it looks so beautiful. The only problem is I thought I had enough wool to do a whole scarf, I only have 12" of scarf. The wool is from china and they have stopped making it.
I have other colours in the same material but the grey is too nice to blend.
It is 4"" wide. What else could I use it as?
I'm gutted I thought I had more in this colour. It's too nice to unravel. It should be 16" when I've finished the remaining wool, roughly.

Ok thank you.

Well I've reached 25" and still got a couple to go I reckon. It'll be even longer when I've blocked it.
It should make a nice cowl.
That blog about blocking was very useful, thank you.

Fabulous :) 25" is great for a cowl or neckwarmer.

I was reading a blog where they said that lacy patterns can look a bit [meh] until they're properly blocked and they seemed to "grow" quite a bit. He seemed to use some kind of wiring threaded around the edge which meant less pins. I wasn't really paying attention to that bit though.

Update.
I finished it, it is 30" long, wow, perfect length for a cowl.
I would have liked a long scarf but hey ho!
Blocking it now and it looks stunning.
One question when I seam it, do I twist it? the pattern is one sided so could look odd.

Slightly more than your 16" estimate :o

I don't know about twisting it. I don't think it's necessary.
