This is mostly a matter of opinion, as some people prefer EXTREMELY long scarves, and others prefer a short scarf. However, as a general standard, around 4 - 4 1/2 feet is good, depending on the scarf's thickness.

Absolutely true. If you are making a scarf for charity purposes, they may have specific guidelines. Scarves for military personnel must also follow strict size guidelines.

In general terms, the prevailing theory is as long as the person is tall, but of course, preferences vary. I generally make mine 60" unless the requirement is different.
