DOUBLE THICKNESS SCARF


The Double Thickness Scarf was made because I wanted to make some long, thick, warm scarves. This, after all, is a very popular style to wear in the winter because you can really bundle up in these! This would look amazing in a solid color, stripes, or so many other variations.

If you use this pattern or make something to donate, please use the hashtag #aheartforthehomeless - I'd love to see all your everything you're making!

ASTORIA INFINITY SCARF PATTERN


The Astoria Infinity scarf is a scarf pattern that my mom was inspired to write when I started this whole project. If you'd like a downloadable version of this pattern, you can purchase it in my mom's Ravelry shop for a minimal fee ($1.00), which helps cover the cost of selling and listing fees. Any pattern is a good fit for hats and scarves but I decided to add a couple free patterns for anyone that would like to help me! (Pattern is used with permission from Ambassador Crochet)

This would look amazing in a solid color, stripes, or so many other variations. If you use this pattern or make something to donate, please use the hashtag #aheartforthehomeless - I'd love to see all your creations!
