Block Your Scarf
You may block your scarf if you choose - blocking is helpful for disguising any flubs in tension that may have happened, and for straightening the edges of your scarf.
It also helps the yarn relax into its new shape. It can't hurt to block all of your projects - it gives a finished look to them. Soak your scarf in lukewarm water with a little wool wash (available at your LYS) for at least 20 minutes.
Press the scarf in a towel and lay it out to dry, straightening the edges with your fingertips. Note: because the scarf is double-thick, it may take longer to dry than usual. You're done!
All that remains is to wear and be fabulous.
