DIY: Infinity Scarf

Last month, Daniel's cousin told me about some infinity scarves that she made as gifts for people.  Since then, I have been seeing them everywhere.  I decided I needed to make one myself!  I learned how to make this scarf from Sweet Verbena's tutorial found here.  If my tutorial isn't clear, check out the one on her blog.  It's excellent! 

What you will need:

*lace (56 x 16 inches)

*satin-like material (56 x 16 inches)

There are so many possible variations for this scarf.  You will see below one I made from lace and jersey material.  I also am making one with jersey and flannel.  Any fabrics that drape nicely will work.  

 Step 1: With right sides together, sew along each 56-inch side.

Step 2:  Turn right side out, as seen below.

 Step 3:  Fold the scarf in half to line up the 16-inch sides of the lace.  Pin the lace right sides together and sew across.

 Step 4:  Now turn the scarf inside out so that the raw edges are showing along the long sides.  Pin the satin on the 16-inch sides right sides together.  

 Step 5:  Sew across leaving a 4-inch opening in the middle.  Pull the scarf through the hole so that the right sides are out.  Then hand-stitch the hole closed.  Done!

 I don't enjoy doing self portraits yet.  The toilet is in the background, for goodness sakes!  I wanted to show wearing it down...

and wearing it looped twice around the neck.  I prefer it this way myself.  

 Here is the scarf I made with jersey and lace.

 I sandwiched the lace between two layers of jersey so I could experiment with using only a piece of lace.  The jersey is very comfortable to wear.  

 Would love to see what variations you come up with!
