Today is the first day of the Scarf Drive. This is the third event of the Crochet Charity Drive.
So, what is it?
18 designers bringing 18 brand new patterns, so you can make them and donate them to give someone a little handmade love and comfort! There is no designated donation place, you donate to the place(s) of your choosing.
In the Fall of 2015, I started a Crochet Mitten Drive where 15 designers came together to make 15 brand new patterns, so that we could donate mittens to those in need. It went very well and this made me want to do more!
I'm so excited to present the first scarf pattern in this Crochet Charity Drive event! At the end of this pattern you will find a list of the other bloggers and when you can get their pattern.
If you're finding this pattern outside of the event, but would like to join in on the fun, click HERE!

FINISHING
*Cut 6 - 14" strands of each color.
Separate into 6 groups with 1 of each color.
Fold each group in half and thread the looped end through the indicated stitch, thread the tails through the looped end, and pull tight. This creates a tassel- like fringe.
Place one fringe in each corner stitch and one in the center stitch on each end of scarf. (As Shown in Photo Below)
*Hide all strings.
