School Scarf

Product details

A warm school scarf keeps children comfortable on cold mornings, during the July cold season and in highland areas such as Nyeri, Limuru, Nyahururu, Kericho and Eldoret. Our knitted school scarf is soft, warm and available plain or striped to match the school sweater.

Matching your school colours

A school scarf is usually made in the main school colour with stripes in the second colour — for example maroon with gold, navy with red, or green with white. We stock common colours and, for bulk orders, knit school scarves in your exact colours to match our plain school sweater or striped school sweater. Send us a photo of your uniform on WhatsApp.

Caring for a school scarf

• Hand-wash or machine-wash on a gentle cycle in cool water.
• Do not wring; gently squeeze out water.
• Dry flat in the shade so the school scarf keeps its shape.
• Store folded, not hung, to avoid stretching.

Cold mornings across Kenya

Many parents outside the highlands are surprised by how cold some school mornings can be. In Nairobi and the central highlands, temperatures in July and August can drop to around ten degrees Celsius or lower before sunrise, and in places like Nyandarua, Molo and parts of Kericho and Kiambu it can be colder still, with frost on some mornings. Children who walk to school, wait for a school bus or stand at outdoor assembly feel this most.

Keeping the neck warm makes a surprising difference to how warm a child feels overall. A scarf can be wrapped snugly in the morning, loosened as the day warms up, and easily stored in a school bag when not needed. That flexibility is why scarves are a popular choice compared with heavier coats that are too warm by mid-morning.

Safety tips for younger children

For young children, make sure scarves are worn neatly and tucked into the sweater or jacket during active play, so the ends cannot catch on playground equipment. Teach them to take the scarf off before climbing or running games and to put it in their bag. Teachers in pre-primary classes may ask children to remove scarves in class for the same reason.

Matching the whole cold-weather set

When a school adds a scarf to the uniform, it usually matches the sweater, the marvin and sometimes the tie. Ordering these items together from one supplier keeps the colours consistent, because the yarns can be matched at the same time. If your school is introducing a new cold-weather set, send us a photo of your sweater and we will propose colours and stripes for the scarf and marvin to match.

Buying for siblings

A scarf is one of the few uniform items that fits children of different ages, so families with siblings at the same school can buy several in one order and share them between children as needed.
