Job Description

Handmade Especially for You, a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)3 (EIN: 26-3529292) needs knitters and crocheters and anyone who wants to make a difference in the life of domestic abuse victims. Please participate in our scarf project!

At Handmade Especially For You we make and distribute "comfort scarves" for abused women in shelters. We tie each scarf with a ribbon and include a note signed by the maker. Our goal is to provide a gift of comfort to someone who may have never received a gift before and to show that someone cares. Since we began at the end of 2008, we have made almost 200,000 scarves and distributed them to 70+ shelters throughout California.

Please help by knitting or crocheting. We also need people who can help do the following things:

  • make kits-people with fashion or artistic interest who will help make the kits we distribute to our knitters and crocheters.
  • organize the finished scarves and prepare them for delivery to the various shelters.
  • donations to cover the cost of the postage.

If you want to make scarves and need yarn, we can supply kits so that you can knit and crochet scarves. If you want to make scarves from your own stash, here are the guidelines:

  1. use big needles ( 17 depending on the weight of your yarn) or big hooks ( P again depending on the weight of your yarn)
  2. soft yarn (for comfort)
  3. happy color
  4. at least 4 inches wide but no more than 4 1/2 inches wide
  5. at least 60 inches long
  6. open stitch (for distribution in a warm climate)
  7. some decoration like fun fur or ribbon to individualize
  8. add a gift tag and tie each scarf with a ribbon so it is a personal gift for the recipient

Please send your finished scarves to:

Thanks in advance for your participation.
