The Loom Knit Headband and Super Scarf are perfect for snuggling up during cold days. This easy loom knit scarf and matching headband ensures you will look fashionable and coordinated during the cold days of winter. The pure white color of the super bulky weight yarn is reminiscent of falling snow and provides the perfect accent to any type of outfit you choose to wear. Plus, the two giant pom poms at the ends of the scarf add a fun accent you don't see on most designs. The oversized loom knit scarf can be wrapped around your neck multiple times to achieve the exact look you desire.

Love this - especially the pom poms! Using a loom and super bulky weight yarn, this will knit up very quickly. It looks so soft and luxurious for a cold winter day.
