Are Minnesotans Rocking These Ankle Scarves?

First, it was nose warmers. Now, ankle scarves are taking over Minnesota. (Or are they?)

Those nose warmers were hideous - I'm sure you remember them. A knit contraption to circulate snot was just not very attractive, not to mention they were ugly as all Hell. But ankle scarves are something you might be willing to get behind. 

The "ankle-free fashion" known as "flanking" was started by German satire site Der Postillon, says Yahoo, but honestly...it doesn't exactly look unappealing. 

Would you try these? You could make these pretty easily, honestly.
