Extremely Long Scarf

Tanu and Sitha’s mother, a worrity woman of many arms and several dozen busy fingers, could whip up a knitted scarf like this one in twelve minutes if the wind turned. The “double rainbow” scarf (named for its colours and ability to stretch twice around the house) could bundle every child in a regular-sized Alphibian family at once. Once, a scarf was given to a tall handsome stranger who wore it all on his own, but no one caught the strange man’s name.
