This blanket scarf/shawl is the ultimate in cozy! It is the perfect accessory for long winter walks, or even to wrap yourself up in when lazing around the house on a chilly late winter day.

I created this scarf to be cozy, classic, stylish, and of course fun to knit! The pattern incorporates a broken rib stitch, and instead of a simple rectangular scarf, I decided to taper off the ends by gradually increasing at the beginning, and then decreasing at the end. The tapered ends not only add style, but they can also be easily tucked in after you’ve wrapped yourself up!
