Nothing like a fantastic knitting effort to inspire me to get back in the game - and the Special Olympic Scarf project is just such an effort.
It's time again to gear up for the Special Olympics Scarf Project 2016. This link provides the general information about the scarf criteria and the specific information for the participating states.
In general, the scarves should be about 6" wide and somewhere between 54 to 60" wide (including fringe!). And other winter accessories, such as headbands, hats, and mittens are welcomed by many states.
Many of my complimentary scarf patterns, which were designed for the Indianapolis Super Scarves Project would be perfect for these two color Special Olympic scarves. These patterns were all designed for the beginning knitter, or someone who just wants a fun, easy knit. All the patterns are available for download on the right hand side of the blog.

Nothing would make me happier than to see a few of these patterns worked up into 2016 Special Olympic Scarves. I know I'll be working up a couple for Indiana. Our color scheme is cherry red and white, which will really pop.
Don't have time to knit a scarf? How about working up a version of the Quick Cross Head Band in two colors. Work up to the cable cross in one color and then switch to the second color. Or work a band of the second color for a few rows before and after the cable cross. This headband can be worked in less than two hours.
Happy knitting for a great cause!
