Make an Infinity Scarf in 5 Minutes!

Course: Crafts
Servings: 1 Infinity Scarf
Author: Courtney ODell

Instructions

  • First, fold your fabric in half width-wise, so that you have a long, skinny strip of fabric instead of a short, fat strip of fabric.
  • Cut down the middle of the fold so that you have two long strips.
  • With the right sides (outside) of the fabric facing inwards together, make a straight stitch at the ends to join the two strips together into one very long strip.
  • With outside (the side you'd like showing when you wear the scarf) facing up, fold one side over onto the other width-wise, so you now have a very long, very skinny strip.
  • With a simple straight stitch, sew along the open end of the strip to make a long, skinny "tube" with two open ends.
  • Turn the fabric tube right side out, and quickly stitch up one of the open ends of the tube.
  • Tuck the end you just sewed into the other open end of the tube, about 1 1/2" inside the fabric.
  • Tuck the ends of the open end in about a hems width to create a smooth, even edge.
  • Sew a straight stitch across the "hem" you just tucked in (with the other end of the scarf still tucked inside.)
  • Add 1-2 reinforcing straight stitches, if desired.
  • To wear, wrap in 3 loops.

Notes

  1. You will want to make two loops with the scarf when wearing it.
  2. If you have fabric that is a little longer than a yard, you can make a scarf with three loops- making it really full.
  3. You can go down to 1/4 yard of fabric for a thinner scarf (perfect for kids)- but I wouldn't go any smaller than that, or it will be hard to turn inside-out.
