My husband was traveling to sub zero Michigan from our home in sunny Florida. The night before I knit him this quick, but warm scarf to take along. He wore it the whole time there and it served its purpose.

Knit with DK yarn held doubled, and size 13 needles, this scarf knits up very quickly.
Basic knowledge of knit and purl stitches needed.

Great pattern for the beginner knitter.
Basic scarf measures appx. 7 inches by 6.5 feet.
