When winter sets in hard, you need a super-warm scarf to keep the chill winds at bay. The Grantchester Scarf has a deep, rugged texture that traps the air and helps keep you warm even when the temperatures really start to fall.

The pattern includes two different widths and three lengths so you can either make a short neckwarmer-style scarf or a long wrapping version as a real wind-stopper.
