I'm a knitter and wanted to give my daughters-in-law this exact scarf without having to knit it!!  I'm SO glad I found this. It's well made, well knit :), the scarf isn't too short like a lot of scarves in this style, and the hood isn't pointy like an elf. It's trendy and perfect.  And I didn't have to knit it!!  Hurray! I may even get one for myself!  Amazon, you're WONDERFUL!!!!!
