With its rich (but simply-worked!) cables, the bulky-weight Finnegan Scarf makes an eye-catching stashbuster in multiple colors or an equally striking accessory in a single tone. Use another skein to make the coordinating Finnegan Hat — scarf leftovers can be used for a contrast pom-pom. In luxurious SNUG yarn from The Plucky Knitter, they make a decadent pair for winter’s coldest months!
