Scarves for Cancer Treatment Patients

Hi, my name is Mariah and I want to encourage Merced County 4-H members to participate in a special project. The project is making scarves for individuals that are going through chemotherapy.

It is very simple to do. You need one yard of fabric. You can use almost any kind of fabric that isn't too heavy to be tied as a head scarf. Make sure to preshink your fabric and then simply make a hem on all four sides. Its is best to use either a zig zag stitch or turn it over twice to prevent the unraveling of the fabric.  The final scarf should be between 31 inches square to 36 inches square.

This is a great opportunity to blend...
