Infinity Scarf Tutorial
January 17, 2011 3:52 pmI love soft infinity scarves. I wanted to try to make one with things I already had around so I came up with this one from unwanted T’s. It’s so easy!
Grab some T’s that you don’t use anymore. You can vary the color and patterns for the more daring. But I like, personally, like to stick to the same color tones.
Cut them up into pieces. They can be different lengths but make sure they are the same width.
Sew them together into an infinity scarf.
Then to make it a little more special I hand embroider a contrasting stitch at the seams. Find your seams and fold them over so the part you sewed is concealed.
Then just do a stitch along the seam. I know nothing about embroidery so I don’t even know what kind of stitch this is called 
I did them at all the seams and here’s how it looks.
Here’s another version I did in all pink with a cream colored stitch.
I looooovve this scarf!
And Bel likes hers, too.

I’m pretty sure that a whip stitch. Your scarf looks cozy and soft, both very important.

Oh so pretty Lex, I’ll have to try this! I have so many T’s I don’t use anymore, and I have been reusing them slowly, but a scarf I have not yet made
I really love the pink one you did. It looks so soft and comfy

I really love this. I had never thought to make an ifinity scarf out of t-shirts. I usually just crochet. This would be much more fit for spring than yarn! Thanks!

Definitely whip stitch, though it would be beautiful with any number of decorative embroidery stitches. I wanted to ask what the final end to end length of all your pieces was. I have a feeling I’ll be digging through the t-shirt pile this weekend.

Cute! I love the idea of using embroidering floss to give it a little extra something.

I kid you not, I literally read this blog entry, closed my computer and left the house to go find some cheap t-shirts at the thrift shop.
I’m so excited to try this, it looks amazing. I’m going to start tonight when I have the house to myself. I really hope I don’t stuff it up!
Thanks so much for this! It’s so nice of you to share your work with us!

I just came across your blog and I love it! You seem to have the perfect balance of skill and intuition that allows me to understand your instructions. I don’t know the formal names of alot of craft skills, so it helps when someone just says what it is and then I can catch on. Great job!

So cute! I love the look of a whip stitch… it’s easy and has that organic feel to it. How long did the scarf end up being?
