Sew Cute: Infinity Scarf Tutorial

Hello Everyone!

With Fall finally here TODAY, I thought I would share an easy and practical tutorial on how to make an infinity scarf.  I am a big fan of infinity scarves, but I find them to be incredibly overpriced.  I was able to make two scarves for $6.13, which is amazing since the scarf I modeled it off of was listed for $26.00...YUCK!  This took me a total of 10 minutes to complete and I am already planning on wearing it this weekend while I am away on a ladies trip ;)

Infinity Scarf

What you need:

- 2 Yards of fabric
- Thread

Step 1
Cut fabric in half lengthwise with a width of around 22 inches.
This gives you material for two scarves! 
Step 2
Fold the fabric right sides in, and stitch along the open edge.
Step 2 Completed
Step 3
Take the scarf as it is in completed Step 2, and pull one end all the way through till it is in half.  (make sure the seam you just made is even).  Then you will take the circle opening and sew around leaving about 3 inches unsewn.  (as show above)
Step 4
After you have finished sewing around the circle, pull the scarf out through the 3 inch area you left unsewn.
Step 5
Your scarf is nearly complete!  Hand stitch the 3 inch opening shut and you have yourself a brand new infinity scarf :)
TA DA!  The finished scarf :)
Hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and can recreate the scarf above.

  1. Court, I'm trying to make this scarf, but I sewed the two long ends together, and think I made a mistake, as I have nothing to "pull thru." can you offer any advice? xo

    1. I think I made the same mistake my first time. This video really helps see it better opposed to pictures.
