Free Scarf Pattern

I was talking the other day with my sister and a cousin about my grandma. She is in her 80's and has lived alone for the last 15 plus years since my grandpa died of a heart attack. She is the mother of 6 and grandma to close to 25 plus now great-grand kids. She manages to send the great-grand kids birthday cards and some money still. Grandma walks almost everyday and still does lots of gardening. I missed a fun weekend helping her out with spring clean up and projects around her house. So I thought I should make her something, plus I don't see her as much as I should. What do you make someone who doesn't need much?

A scarf, of course! This summery scarf can be thrown on over a blouse to dress it up or keep you warm on those cooler nights in the spring. Since I thought up the pattern myself I thought I would offer it to you all, free.
