Took a scarf (5)
I believe the answer is:
stole
This clue is a double definition.
'took' is the first definition.
(stealing is a kind of taking)
'a scarf' is the second definition.
(I know that stole is a type of scarf)
(Other definitions for stole that I've seen before include "Long shawl" , "cover" , "Pinched; wrap" , "Wrap, possibly with fur" , "ripped off" .)
