This is the perfect super-warm last-minute winter gift. It knits up quickly in just one skein of bulky yarn. The cables add interest, but depending on your color choice it can be suitable for men or women. Unlike a scarf, there are no tails to keep track of. Just pull it on to keep warm, or tuck it inside the matching hat and keep it in the car so it’s always ready to keep your loved one toasty.
