There’s no doubt that teachers play an important role in the lives of young people all over the world. They help our children learn, grow, and play. They teach them to dream big and work hard to achieve their goals. Teachers help our children gain the confidence they need to realize their full potential. It’s funny to think that these influential role models are people you may have met only once or twice. Unless you’re a regular volunteer in the classroom, you’ve probably only had the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher during back-to-school night or parent teacher conferences. This holiday, give them the perfect knit gift that lets them know they are appreciated.

On one of your web pages is a title of “Homemade Gifts for Teachers” and right in the top middle is a picture of a brightly colored scarf. It seems to be a very easy one but I would love to have the pattern for it, so I know what yarn was used and what the row count is of each color. I have tried and tried to find the pattern or get to a site that has it and I just cannot find it. I am very frustrated with this whole process. Can you please point me in the right direction so I can make several as gifts for my granddaughter’s teachers? I would be so appreciative and it would finally end this frustration with trying to navigate your site. Thank you for your time.
