Baby/Toddler Scarf To Complete The Set

With some Jiffy El Paso yarn leftover, I decided to make a baby/toddler scarf to complete the little baby warmer set for Kylie Jean. I always loved the scarfs that had the little hole in the ends to loop the other end through with my boys, I have no idea if the have a specific name, but they're AWESOME! Man those scarves stayed on my boys! I still have some yarn leftover, I just might make an earwarmer to go with...this little lady is gonna be stylin! Anyway, here is the pattern I made up:
