This scarecrow was hand knitted by Jan and was kindly donated to Austin Health to shape the future of healthcare through exceptional care, discovery and learning.
The Scarecrow Family booklet was launched in 1988 by Jean's own company, Jean Greenhowe Designs. This was her very first publication and proved to be an instant success, the initial print run of 50,000 copies selling out within weeks.
Knitters immediately realised that something new and exciting was happening in the world of knitting.
