My four-year-old fell in love with this bulky pink Malabrigo Rasta last week when we stopped at Klose Knit in Illinois on our way home from our Thanksgiving trip to Iowa. I started this scarf for her last night while watching a movie and it was done in time to wear out in the snow this morning. Put in a movie (or two) and crank out some snuggly scarves!
