1. Use your credits wisely from the start. Don't buy accessories and things like that, because your head and body are the most important. New users are easily spotted by the IMVU default head and skin. If you need a good head or skin, try looking at the DOC (Daily Outfit Challenge).. Use your credits wisely from the start.

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.
If you swatch in stitch pattern is yielding 22 stitches over 4 inches, the number of stitches per inch would be roughly 5.5. For an 8 inch wide scarf, 5.5 stitches per inch x 8 inches would be 44 stitches. The nearest number that would match a multiple of 4 + 3, would be either 43 or 47 stitches. Do be sure that your swatch is in pattern as a ribbed pattern will pull in a little bit!
