Quick and Easy Knit Infinity Scarf

Every time I pull out my sewing machine, I wonder why it’s been so long since I have used that bad boy. For those who didn’t know, this blog originally began as a sewing blog because of my love for the hobby, but after having kids I turned more towards quick crafts. But I’m excited to be sharing a Quick and Easy Knit Infinity scarf tutorial today as part of Scarf Week, hosted by The Thinking Closet.

 

I have had this knit material in my stash for probably two years. I received it in one of those Pick Your Plum Grab Boxes. I’ve been saving it for a rainy day, but I decided to use it for this fun, summery scarf.

 

 

Supplies:

• 1 yard knit fabric
• Scissors
• Sewing machine and thread
• Pins

 

 

 

Begin by straightening up the edges of the material. If the material has stripes, it can make it easy. Just cut along the edge of the stripes to make sure the material is even.

 

 

Fold the material in half to form a long tube. Pin at the edges.

 

Sew with a 1/2 inch seam allowance.

 

Trim the seam.

 

Turn the tube right side out.

Put the seam in the middle of the back of the tube.

 

Place one end of the tube inside the other end. Fold the raw edge of the outer end under approximately 1/2″. Pin all the way around, making sure to catch the opposite end in the pins. This step can take the longest. It’s important to make sure the material is kept even while pinning. Watch out for material that puckers up. Use a ton of pins! If using striped fabric, try to match the stripes the best of your ability.

 

Sew very close to the folded and pinned edge. Remove the pins. Trim any threads. Wear your handmade scarf with pride!
