Trefoil Headband Knitting Pattern
The following is a pattern for knitting a headband with the Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada trefoil on it. The trefoil logo is copyrighted by Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada. The pattern is copyrighted by me, Faith J. Cormier. Because the pattern includes the logo, you cannot use it for commercial purposes. As far as I understand POR, you may make as many of these as you want for your own use or as gifts, or use the pattern to teach your girls to knit, but you may not sell the headbands.
If somebody at the GGC National HQ has a different understanding of the legalities, please tell me!
