SCARVES FOR TROOPS

KNITTING AND CROCHETING INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

Materials:

 

Any soft, worsted or bulky weight (100 grams/3.5 ounces) wool yarn (lamb’s wool, alpaca, cashmere or combinations of these are acceptable).

 

Only 100% soft wool yarn will be accepted, because our Armed Forces are not allowed to wear synthetic fibers outside the wire.

 

            Wool is:

 

            1.         Inherently non-flammable, so it won’t melt against the skin in the event of an accident, and

            2.         It is a good insulator even when wet.

 

Colors: ONLY  black, charcoal, brown, tan, or combinations of these colors.

 

Finished dimensions: approx. 12 in. x 42 in. No fringe, scallops, or holes big enough to put your little finger through, just plain, as these need to be “unisex”.

 

Note:   Any stitch EXCEPT stockinette stitch if knitting as it curls, so please do not use it.

 

Cast off. Weave in ends.
