I designed and knitted this scarf for my granddaughters who are very big 'into unicorns at the moment.
You may know that for the past 8 years I have been helping Syrian children especially orphans, living in refugee camps in Turkey. LOVE IN THE LANGUAGE OF YARN AND EDUCATION we provide the children with blankets, clothing, toys etc. We also help them obtain an education by providing camp schools.
This pattern is available if you copy and paste. It would be wonderful if you could see your way to making a donation to help these children get an education.
This pattern is also available on PDF for a charge of £5 which will provide a child with school bag, pencil case and stationery to enable them to attend the camp school. Please email me at dbjones5559@hotmail.co.uk to request a PDF pattern.
You can make a donation via PayPal
Thanking you in anticipation.
