Summertime Scarf- Free Pattern


This is another pattern to support the handmade especially (handmadeespecially.org) charity that distributes comfort scarves to abused women who enter women's shelters across southern California. If you enjoyed this pattern, please make an extra scarf to donate to the cause. The address for donations can be found on their site. You can also donate to my personal scarf making efforts by purchasing my PDF pattern document, where 100% of your donation goes to make scarves to donate in my southern California area. Each donation pays for one scarf.
