Grantchester Scarf​
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.
