Crochet or Knit?
It depends on your tension and the size yarn you are using. Take the yarn you are planning on using and using the stitch suggested in the pattern, stitch out until you have about about a one inch wide row.
Count the number of stitches you've made and multiply that by the length you would like the scarf to be.
NOW, measure the height of your test inch. Divide the with of the scarf you would like to make by the height of your test row. This will tell you how many rows you need.
Now, Multiply the number of rows needed by the number of stitches in each row.
I sure hope that helps! It's kind of hard to explain unless I know for sure whether you're crocheting or knitting. THIS method is what I would use for crochet.

How many inches are 44 stiches in knitting?
That depends on your gauge. I have a pair of socks on my needles right now. My gauge for these socks is 11 stitches per inch. 44 stitches in that gauge would be 4 inches. (44/11) I also have a sweater on another set of needles. The gauge for that sweater is five stitches to the inch. 44 stitches in that gauge would be 8.8 inches. (44/5) It's a big difference.
How many stitches for knitting needle number 8 per inch?
The number of stitches you need per inch depends on the type of fabric you are sewing. The weight, thickness and type of fabric sewn will determine the stitch length you use. In a quilt, you will have fewer stitches, such a six or eight per inch. For a seam on clothing, a medium weight fabric will use 10 - 12 stitches, for heavier fabrics, 8 -10 will work better. In knitting and crochet, the stitches per inch are determined by the size of your needles, the tension you use when working the stitches, and the weight of the yarn or thread. The pattern you use will specify the stitches and needles you need, called the gauge.
