    Queen Victoria crocheted 8 scarves for soldiers in Boer War

    In spite of the subtitle saying that she "knitted" scarves, they were crocheted, as mentioned later in the article itself. Also, the scarf in the photo (they were all the same) does not look like knitting.

    Here's a better photo:

    Hi MeToo,
    What a wonderful article! She must have loved her soldiers so much.
