[Nfb-krafters-korner] scarf idea

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Barb,
 
I was thinking about that when I was writing this email.  Just make it  
long enough to fit over your head and all the rest, but fold it in have and 
whip  stitch one side of the scarf which will be the back of your head.
 
Depending on how cold it is you can put this on your head, wrap it around  
your neck back and forth [for kids] push the scarf ends down their sleeves 
and  pull out of the arms for them to put their hands in the pouch or pockets 
at the  end of the scarf.

and if  you make it even longer, you put the scarf on your head to help 
keep it  warm.
