These scarves are a little shorter than the regular ones. They're only thirty inches long. They are, however, held together with buttons. You can, of course, undo the buttons and if the scarf is a little too loose for you, you can hook the buttons a little higher up to tighten it around your neck. These cute and cozy scarves are perfect for winter. They can come in either thick (Lion Brand Hometown USA - Blue) or thin yarn (RedHeart - Red). The thick yarn is $5 more for yarn costs.
