This Hello [Kitty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-monchhichi) scarf features not only the iconic kitty cat, but also her entire [Sanrio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-x-sanrio) crew. This design by Yummy You collaborates Hello Kitty, Keroppi the frog, My Melody the bunny and so many more. Crocheted with a vibrant collection of every color you can think of, the scarf attracts a great deal of attention.

It seems like a somewhat greedy concept, but this mashup of the [Sanrio community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-social-social-club-sanrio) is perfect for the true Sanrio fan. Having the whole community tagging along with you, wherever you go, must be a special feeling. The scarf obviously focuses on its visual details, but it also seems surprisingly soft, warm and practical for colder weathers. If you know someone who is a big Hello Kitty fan, you might want to suggest this scarf.
