Their goal is 5,000 scarves in these 2 colors. "Our only rule," says Blizzard, "is that the scarves are knitted or crocheted by hand using
delft blue (885) and white (311) Red Heart Super Saver yarn, because these colors perfectly match the Special Olympics logo and were chosen specifically by the World Winter Games organizers."

Crochet hook size I
Red Heart Super Saver yarn in both delft blue (#885) and white (#311), the official colors of the Games. Approx 8 oz needed.

Even though it might seem 'odd', doing the pattern as stated, makes that neat 'in-and-out' bumpy edging. (see photo to right)

Chain 19 (width = 5.5")
Row 1: 2 Dc in 3rd ch from the hook - *skip 1 ch, sc in next ch, skip 1, 3 dc in next ch (shell made), repeat from * across to last chain, 3 dc, ch 3 and turn. (First row has 5 shells)

Row 2: Sc in 2nd st from hook (middle dc of the shell) - *skip 1 st, 3 dc in next (forms shell), skip 1 st, sc in middle of shell, repeat from * across to shell-- sc in middle of shell, ch 3 and turn. (4 shells)

Row 3: Sc in 2nd st from hook (middle dc of the shell below) - *skip 1 st, make shell, skip 1 st, sc in middle of shell, repeat from * across, skip stitch and 3dc in sc of row below, ch 3 and turn. (4 shells)

(HINT: do not sc into the chain 3's from the previous row)

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until scarf is 54" long (approx. 5.5" wide), change between the 2 colors as you wish.

Scarf to left: colors were changed every 10 rows but you can change colors however often you wish.

Please place your scarf in a plastic bag with your name and address on a note card.
On a separate notecard you may write a personal note to the athlete wishing them good luck etc.
