It's always fun to start a project you can realistically finish. Motivation from the start!  I am not a fast knitter (or very talented at that) but with the simple "knit stitch", 1 ball of  medium weight yarn (i used a soft chocolate wool) size 7us needles + 2 hours I made my sweet son a cute + cozy scarf (or 'karf as eliot calls it).

The scarf  measures 3"wide by 26"long (I initially casted on 14 stitches and knitted until i ran out of yarn). The 'karf  is long enough to comfortably tie around eliot's neck without too much excess length. This seems to be good proportions for a toddler, but adjust according to the size of your child, amount of yarn + motivation. 1 ball of yarn was enough to give me that warm-fuzzy feeling of accomplishment  + provided an enjoyable evening curled up on the couch.
