She would LOVE to hear from you. :)
OK- onto scarves:
... if any of you need a simple scarf pattern for children's scarves or even for beginner knitters to make - the idea came from my knitted hat pattern I created to teach some children to knit last week.
Here is the scarf pattern and then the hat pattern:
2-3 oz of nice, warm worsted weight yarn
Size 8 knitting needles
Cast on 30 stitches
Knit every row until 3-4 feet long depending on age of child.
My children didn't start wearing scarves until they were about 2 1/2 or 3 years old.
Cast off. Weave in ends.
That's it!

Now here is the hat pattern it was based on, with photo!

This is for a newborn baby hat. Hat height =5" Length= 10.5"
Size 8 knitting needles
1 oz of worsted weight yarn
Cast on 20 stitches (this is the height)
Knit each row for 72 rows (10.5" rectangle - this is the width)
Bind off stitches; fold hat in half widthwise, and whip stitch the side seam.
Weave yarn in and out of the stitches at the top and pull to gather top of hat.
Weave the yarn inside the top of the hat, and tie the strand together, or weave in and out to secure.

If you love to make hats, and who doesn't (?) I can use some toddler sized hats for my chapter of Warming Families.
Thanks and God bless!
Remember to hug the ones you love today, and express thanks for all they do for you. And don't forget to thank your Heavenly Father for His love and blessings to you. :)
