In honor of Carl Erskine, former Brooklyn Dodger, longtime friend of Special Olympics and parent of one of our athletes, the 2022-23 scarf project will feature colors representing his old team: Dodger blue and grey. We hope to receive 300 scarves in all, to be given to athletes, coaches, volunteers and supporters at the State Winter Games and Polar Plunges. All scarves must be sent to the state office by Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2023.

Again, the official Indiana colors for 2023 are:

• Red Heart — Royal Blue 0385
• Red Heart — Light Grey 1441

Both yarn colors are available through Michaels, Joann Fabrics, Walmart and Amazon.

We recommend scarves be a 6-inch width and 54-60 inches including fringe in length. We have no pattern requirements.

We thank all our scarf makers, many of whom have been with us from the beginning in 2009. So many wonderful people for so many wonderful years!
