A great, quick gift idea. This yarn is very soft and warm.
Even though it is discontinued, it is still available online.

Scarf is machine wash gentle, but not tumble dry, unless it’s in a lingerie bag. Without that, the pompoms get ruined hitting the sides of the dryer.

I’ve made many of these scarves. The stitches relax a bit after washing and the pompoms will dangle out. To prevent this, when you come upon a pompom in your row, make the stitch snug, toggle the pompom to the back, work one stitch, then toggle the pompom back to the front.
