What size window scarf do I need?

Measure across the top of the window with a tape measure. Measure down one side of the window to the approximate point where you want the bottom of the scarf to hang and double this measurement. Add the measurements together and add 1 1/2 inches to the total. This is the scarf’s length measurement.
