Tutorial: Pink scarf for breast cancer awareness

by

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and to help spread the word about the importance of early detection, Kim from Craftaphile shares a tutorial for making her Hope Scarf.  The pink scarf from jersey knit fabric is quick, simple project that you can make even if you’ve never sewn before.  (Just one seam!)  It’s like a life-size version of the breast cancer awareness pink ribbon.  Get the tutorial.
