How many stitches to cast on?

AllTheYarn, assuming you get about 5 sts per inch, I would cast on 5 to 7 inches' worth, so 25 to 35. Unless he likes his scarves really wide, then go up another 5 or 10.
Remember that scarves and young-ish children don't always mix well. If the end gets caught in something, the scarf can be a choking hazard.Download for free my comprehensive, twelve-hundred-page (!) book, Stitch by Bloody Stitch: Knitting Charts Explained, at my website, http://hollybriscoe.com/first-edition-announced/
