Try It Tuesday - Toddler Scarf

Welcome to Try It Tuesday!  Today we are tackling a super easy project just in time for all the cold weather that is about to hit.  I am going to show you how to make this super cute winter scarf for your toddler!

All you need for this project is:

One Pair of Adult sized Knee socks. (Mine are from Target - priced at $2.50, but any knee socks should work fine.)

You will also need a pair of scissors, some stick pins, and a sewing machine.

Start by cutting your knee socks off right above the heel.

Turn one sock inside out. Put the sock that is NOT turned inside out into the sock that is inside out. Pin the two socks right sides together at the raw edges.

Straight stitch 1/4 from edge all the way around.  Turn sock right side out and you should have a nice seam in the middle, like this:

Back to the cutting table.  Its time to make the fringe.  You can use any type of trim that you like here.  I wanted this to be as cheap as possible and didn't want to buy new trim, so I used the remainder of the sock to make my fringe.

I removed the heel and the toe of the sock, and cut the rest of the foot into 6 strips. 





Give this strips/loops a good stretch.  This will cause the edges to curl up nicely.

Pin these loop inside the end of scarf (or what used to be the top of the sock). I pinned my loops to lay flat so each loop will create two pieces of fringe.



Straight stitch across, making sure that you stitch over each of your loops. 

It should look something like this.  Although your stitch may be a little straighter than mine.

Cut all the loops at the end and tie knots in each end for a more finished look. 

Tada!  You're done!  This is a cheap and stylish way to keep the babies warm this winter.  We have worn one of these scarves out twice, and have had complete strangers stop us and compliment them.  Here are a few of the ones we have done so far.







Hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  If you give it a try and like it, be sure to send me a pic, so I can see too!  Have a great day!
