Infinity Scarves

{New to HankOrange!}

Goofy girl in the pic?  Yeah, that's me!

One of my favorite things during the fall and winter seasons is wrapping up in a cozy blanket and curling up on the couch.   

One of my least favorite things about this time of year is being cold.  Especially, when my neck is cold.  Cold wind blowing on my neck, no thank you! 

But, I can exactly go anywhere or run errands with a blanket wrapped around my body {although, it is tempting!}  

And that is why I created the HankOrange infinity scarf.  I can throw on my cozy cotton infinity scarf and keep warm as I’m out and about.  I’ve been wearing mine all the time.  I throw it on after a workout when I’m running errands,  I put it on in the morning when I’m taking little man to school, I wear it when I’m walking the dog!

The scarf keeps me warm and adds a fun touch to any outfit!

Infinity Scarf Tutorial

Re-fashion a knit dress into an Infinity Scarf

I’ve been wanting to work with knit for a while but I’ve had a hard time finding knit fabrics at the local fabric store.  So, when I found an XL knit dress on clearance at Old Navy for $3, I knew I was going to buy it and give it a try!  Why not!?

Not only did this project take less than an hour, the finished project turned out great!  The first day I wore the scarf I got several compliments.  To me, compliments equal success!

What you’ll need:

·      Serger (it is possible to sew knits on a sewing machine, but I used my serger)

·      XL Jersey knit dress (an oversized t-shirt could work too)

·      Scissors

·      Thread

·      30 minutes

Step one:  Cut off the ‘top’ of the dress.  Now you have one big ‘loop’ of fabric that was previously the skirt of the dress.

Step two:  Cut down one of the side seams of the ‘loop’ creating one long strip of fabric. 

Step three:  (If you want a thicker scarf, you can skip this step!)

Cut the strip horizontally.  Depending on the height of the fabric you have, and the width of the scarf you want, this will determine the number of sections you cut horizontally.  I cut the fabric into two strips.

Step four:  Put the right sides of the fabric together and serge on the vertical edge (shortest side).  You should have one long strip of fabric.

Step five: Serge the horizontal edges together (creating a tube essentially), making sure the right sides are together.

 

Step six: Turn the ‘tube’ right side out.  Almost done!

Step seven: Serge the open ends of the scarf together creating one large loop.  The surged seam will show, but because the scarf will be looped around your neck, you won’t seem the seam.

Step eight:  Put on the scarf and wear with pride!  Wasn’t that easy?!
