For my scarf, I’ve used Classic DK 100% acrylic  300 g (100= 385m/ 3.53= 311 yards) and a 4 mm hook. 

This yarn is a soft yarn with great airy volume, suitable for crochet and knitting projects. It is made from 100% high-quality acrylic and comes in a beautiful selection of colors. Whether you knit or crochet with this yarn, the stitches will stand out nicely and clearly. If you are allergic to wool or don’t want to use animal fibers, you can substitute this great acrylic yarn for a soft and lovely result. The soft yarn is great for many creative, colorful projects. It does not scratch and is comfortable to work with and wear on the body. You can purchase this great yarn HERE.
