Handmade Holiday #1Wool Infinity Scarf

Supplies:

You will need a suiting weight wool, any pattern that you want, 60” wide. Depending on how wide you like your scarf to be, you can use anything from 1/3 of a yard to ½ yd. For our scarf we used 1/3 of a yard.

Thread to match

Pins, we like the fine pins that you can sew over

Cutting: All you need to do is cut the selvedge off your piece of fabric that will be 60” wide and between 12-18” wide.

Construction:

Fold your fabric piece in half length wise ,placing right sides together. Using a hefty 1/4” seam, stitch all along the 60” length. When you are done, press your seam open. See picture below:

Now turn inside out. Take both open ends and start pinning together, making sure to match your seams.

Using a hefty 1/4” seam allowance, start stitching around the circle as far as you can, leaving about 2-4” open.

Your seam opening will look like above, Now stretch it out and line it up as shown below and pin it together flat.

Now, using a small zig-zag stitch, close up this opening. The stitch will catch on the inside and go right over the edge on the outside. When you are done, it will look like this:

Now, how easy was that?! This seam is hardly noticeable and can be on the inside at the back of your neck when you wear the scarf. Here it is being modeled by our beautiful Satkirtan! This is a free pattern courtesy of www.pipersquilts.com
