Knit & Crocheting for Red Scarf Project!

The Red Scarf Project Is On At The Harlem Knitting Circle!  
Yes Knitters & Crocheters, and those who want to learn how to knit or crochet, the Red Scarf Project'2012 has begun!  

The Red Scarf Project

Beginners-your first project will be making a scarf to be donated to Foster Care For Success's Red Scarf Project!  Bring in your own hue of red yarn to make a scarf!  

Please read your yarn labels and make sure yarn is washable and soft!!  Scarves can be made with any shade of red..., from the deepest darkest blood red to the softest powder pinkish red! Little things make a big difference in the life of a college student, and sometimes they make ALL the difference.
From getting a handmade scarf through the Red Scarf Project, Emergency Fund and Book Club we are able to immediately furnish students with the resources they need to stay in school.

Do you love to knit or crochet or want to learn? Whether you are a beginner, an expert, or somewhere in between, your handiwork can send warmth and encouragement to a foster student!

The handmade red scarves in each of our care packages become treasured keepsakes that our students wear for years. 

The Red Scarf Project offers a unique opportunity to use your creativity to give a truly personal gift to one student as he or she moves forward to graduation and a brighter future.
RED SCARF PROJECT GUIDELINES:
Size: approximately 60” long and 5” to 8” wide. Scarves should be long enough to be wrapped around the neck, with tails long enough to be tied in the front. 

Style: Think unisex collegiate. Fringes are optional. Your scarf should drape, tie easily and be soft.

Color: Red! However, this could mean burgundy, cherry, russet, red stripes with other colors, or multicolor hues including red. 

Finished & tagged: Yarn ends should be securely sewn in. For a personal touch, attach a tag saying “Handmade for You” with your first name, city, and group affiliation, if any. 

Donors have also included washing instructions, messages of encouragement, gift cards, and more.
