If there's one accessory I simply CANNOT live without, it's a scarf. As the season change, I move from light silk scarves to pashminas and homemade knits. Knit scarves are unbelievably warm and they add a certain charm to just about any outfit. If you've ever tried to knit (and I have, quite unsuccessfully thank you very much) you know how LONG one of these scarves can take to make. You also know that the care, attention, and craftsmanship of a well made scarf is unlike many handmade goods. I've scoured Etsy to find some of my favorite knit scarves to share with you and these all happen to be under $100.
Luxurious Pure Wool Knit Scarf - The Bridget II cowl $79
via tickled pink knits
Super soft scarflette in blue gray $26
via Knme
Ruffle Neck Warmer Olive Green, Hand Knit $22
via Beaded Wire
Ginger and Camouflage Ribbed Scarf $85
via Urban Knit
Neverending Scarf $63
via celapiu
Chai Latte Scarf Pure Organic Cotton Knit Wrap $79
via tickled pink knits
Sure you might be able to find a knit scarf at a retail store that would be cheaper, but I promise, if there's anything you spend money on this fall, invest in a good scarf (and maybe a good pair of boots too.)
What's the ONE accessory you can't live without?

I agree completely. LOVE the first one - it looks so soft.

Those are so lovely! I totally wish it was cold enough for scarves here.
One accessory I can't live without? My glasses! And sunglasses! Being able to see is definitely a priority.
I am a hand knitter of accessories, and lover of huge scarves! But I agree, that scarves take FOREVER to knit.
I recently discovered cowls and neckwarmers, that are just as comforting and warm, but take a fraction of the time to knit.
You should try it.
(Being an English girl in Canada, I also can't live without thermal underwear!! I love it!)
Great picks.
What I need is a tote.
I am a knitter and I usually bring a tote with a project in it where ever I go. In the tote there is usually a book and a few other things too.
oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE hand made scarves!!! You picked some great ones!
Definitely scarves for me as well! I have them in every color - would love to add that first one to my collection!
I am a huge fan of scarves. I love love that orange one.
I've been dying for one of these for over a month now!!
Hey - wanted to let you know we featured you on our blog today. I am in love with all of your items. They are so simple, classic, elegant yet totally unique and childlike at the same time. I don't know how you do it!!
Come on over and see

The cowl has a luxurious feel to it, but the scarflette and the ruffle neck warmer are just irresistible. So fun and charming!!
I'm inspired to break out my knitting needles...
My Blackberry- I think that'd be an accessory, right? :)
Though for winter- def need cozy scarves!
I am in love with the cowl neck right now. I found another Etsy shop last week that I fell in love with and not bad for the price!

I desperately need the Neverending Scarf. It is absolutely stunning. I so wish that I knew how to knit - I would be making scarves 24/7! :)
The one accessory I can't live without...cute knit hats! :)
I love scarves! The Ginger and Camouflage Ribbed Scarf is beautiful!
LOVE these scarves, but I live in Phoenix so we're nowhere near needing to wear anything warm :( I do love the lightweight scarves from Old Navy & such, but for now my #1 accessory is my new pair of flat black boots.
I've actually been contemplating one of the cowl scarves from the first seller (a chunkier one). I like scarves too but when it's raining here it's almost too sloppy to wear a scarf. :( They are so wonderful on chilly dry mornings though.
Oh, ya..I am all about my giant size scarf = "Travel blanket" ;P
these are so beautiful! I love oversized scarves when it's cool. You can take off your coat and wrap yourself in them when you are inside!
I like Luxurious Pure Wool Knit Scarf - The Bridget II cowl .....it looks so serene even in winters
Oh, all so cozy I love that first one!
I just re-learned how to knit, and it is very time consuming, but I love it! Hubs isn't to fond of it, but once he wraps the incredibly soft grey cashmere number I'm needling away at - he will be won over!
The first one looks so soft and cozy...
yummmm I love hand knitted and crocheted scarves, they are indeed extremely warm!!!

talking about boots...any ideas on stylish affordable boots?...i've been endlessly searching places, but I can't find much that aren't UGG boots.
I love the first one, it looks so comfortable!
These are beautiful. I want one of each :)
Gorgeous scarfs! Makes me not dread winter as much... ♥
I agree - I often have a scarf around my neck, 12 months of the year. I especially love the first scarf you've included here. So cozy.
That neverending scarf is killer
LOVE the neverending scarf...
These are gorgeous - I always, always have about five different woolen scarves on the go in winter! It's my favourite thing about winter actually! The accesssory I can't live with - my jewellery! Especially my rings!
I just did a trade with Franca from Oranges and Apples and bought something from Polkadot Robot- I'm so jealous they have the ability to craft something so beautiful.
The green one is just too cute!
Thank you kindly for including my Cowl & Scarf among your lovely picks! Happy to read all the great comments too :) Many thanks!
Big earrings! I feel miserable with out them. :)
