    Hi
    Hi Lizziejane. There are a couple of sites you might want to check out. You can get free hats at heavenlyhats.com. It is a site that was started by a young kid that now helps so many bc survivors. Also, go to www.franceluxe.com and click at the top right on Good Wishes & TNBC. You can pick out a beautiful scarf and they will not charge you. Many here have gotten the scarves and absolutely love them. I hope this helps you some.

    When I started making my scarves I just bought some real cheap material and using one I'd been given (didn't really like the way it fit) and using it as a start for measurements, just started making them. Most are a little different as I keep getting slightly different ideas. The easiest to make if you want something that is warm (winter is already here - western SoDak) is a fleece "Momba-sok".

    I know someone on here
    I know someone on here posted a lot of information about how to tie the scarves. Maybe, google it and see what you come up with? I hope someone who knows will post to you and let you know.

    Hugs, Diane ♥

    YOU WOULD THINK THAT MACALLS
    YOU WOULD THINK THAT MACALLS OR SIMPLICITY WOULD HAVE A SCARF PATTERN, SHOWING DIFFERENT WAYS OF TYING--AND DIFFERENT STYLES.
    I HAVE A SMALL HEAD, SO WOULD LIKE--SOME LINING SO MY HEAD DOESN'T LOOK SO FLAT....GUESS I WILL JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE AND HOPE THEY TURN OUT OK.....I HAVE A BROTHER IN LAW AND FAMILY IN BOWMAN, NORTH DAKOTA...I COULD USE FLEECE SINCE I LIVE IN MISSOURI AND IT CAN GET PRETTY COLD HERE.
    THANKS---TAKE CARE,
