Easy Infinity Scarf TUTORIAL

scarfs. we all love them. but being a short person, i can’t handle a big, bulky scarf around my neck. i look rather top heavy and awkward….or like a poodle with a bull dog collar on….. so i decided to jump on the infinity scarf band wagon and made a simple skinny circle scarf. {i dare you to say ‘simple skinny circle scarf’ super fast!}

aren’t stripes so fun? yep, that’s dorky me trying to take a pic of myself. which for the record, is harder than you’d think.

i ordered this top for only a few dollars in an extra large size. i thought i could shrink it to magically make it fit…. buuuuuut that didn’t work out so well. as much as i like to sew, i didn’t feel like messing with taking it in in case i messed it up. so i decided the shirt’s fate was to be turned into infinity scarfs.

To Make an Infinity Scarf: all you need is a large t-shirt, scissors, and a sewing machine. {i know there are several ways to make these, but with the stripes going side to side, my scarf needed 1 short seam. if you cut it the opposite way, no seam would be needed!}

lay the t-shirt flat and cut a 6 inch strip from the hem to the shoulder of the shirt.

with right sides together, sew the 2 hemmed edges together and trim the excess fabric. and you’re done!

for a twist, add some chunky buttons over the seam. that would be totally killer!

and there you have a super easy infinity scarf! perfect for fall, winter, AND spring! {and summer too for those who are huge scarf fans} and the beauty of this project is you can use old shirts AND get several scarfs from each shirt. economical crafting at its best!
