HOW TO INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOOPED SCARF

I FOUND IN TRYING TO DO THIS, I AM BETTER AT SEWING MY CREATIONS, THAN TRYING TO EXPLAIN HOW TO SEW THEM. IT TOOK ME LONGER TO TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW TO SEW IT, THAN IT DID TO ACTUALLY SEW IT! SO I HOPE THIS MAKES SINCE TO YOU GUYS.

LET'S GET STARTED

CUT A PIECE OF FLEECE 10" WIDE BY 30" LONG
(I MADE MINE FOR A THREE YR. OLD)

IF YOU WANT LONGER LOOPS, THEN YOU COULD CUT IT MAYBE 12 - 14" WIDE
FOR OLDER CHILDREN OR ADULTS.

FOR THE LENGTH, THE BEST WAY TO GET THIS MEASUREMENT IS TO, MEASURE FROM WAIST, UP AROUND NECK AND BACK DOWN TO WAIST.
(THIS IS JUST A RULE OF THUMB)
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR SCARF LENGTH HOW EVER LONG YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE.

NOW FIND THE CENTER OF WIDTH OF SCARF, AND MARK IT

TAKE RIGHT SIDE AND FOLD EDGE TO CENTER LINE

NOW DO THE SAME ON THE LEFT SIDE

NOW YOUR TWO ENDS MEET AT THE CENTER OF THE WIDTH OF YOUR FABRIC,

TIP: YOU CAN SLIGHTLY OVERLAP ENDS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SEWING EASIER

(I DON'T, BUT IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IT WON'T REALLY MATTER)

NOW USING A ZIG-ZAG STITCH, STITCH DOWN THE CENTER ENTIRE LENGTH OF SCARF, MAKING SURE YOUR STITCH IS CATCHING BOTH EDGES

(THIS IS WHY IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOU CAN SLIGHTLY OVERLAP THEM)

THIS IS HOW IT WILL LOOK ON BOTH SIDES WHEN YOU ARE DONE

OK, SO NOW IT'S TIME TO CUT THE LOOPS.

CUT LOOP STRIPS ABOUT 1/2" WIDE, DOWN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF SCARF

CUT LOOP DOWN TO ABOUT 1/4" AWAY FROM YOUR STITCHING LINE

TAKE THE LAST TWO LOOPS AT EACH END OF SCARF AND

TIE THEM TOGETHER (ONCE) AND MAKE A KNOT, THIS MAKES A NICE FINISHED LOOK TO THE ENDS OF YOUR SCARF.

TA-DA!

EASY-PEASY,

YOU'RE DONE,

IT'S FINISHED

TOLD YOU IT WAS SEW EASY.

NOW GO - SEW - CREATE, HAVE FUN AND ENJOY.

THESE ARE SO EASY, THEY WILL MAKE A GREAT LAST MINUTE GIFT YOU CAN MAKE WITH LOVE.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR FINISHED PROJECTS, SO SHOW AND TELL YOUR FINISHED PROJECTS. LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES.

P.S. I'LL GET THE INSTRUCTIONS UP FOR THE HAT LATER TODAY OR TOMORROW.
