Product Details

Designed to help promote awareness of the Organ Donor Register, the scarf says GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE on one side and REGISTER AS AN ORGAN DONOR on the other.

One side has grey lettering on black; the other has black lettering on grey. Any two contrasting colours can be used.

Under ideal conditions the lettering should disappear when you look straight at the scarf in normal wear. If you hold it up, or lie it flat, then look at it from an angle, the messages are very obvious. The photographs were taken in the snow and outlines of the letters can still be seen in most of the photographs, due to the light conditions.

Because it is double-sided this is quite a heavy scarf. It is long so the messages can fit. A lightweight DK yarn is recommended so that it is not too heavy. It can be made shorter by just using the shorter message. The pattern includes instructions for making a single-sided scarf and for adapting it to be a banner with either one or two messages.
