Easy DIY Crochet Scarf Tutorial

Today's nap time craft/ christmas gift:

Yellow & Navy Blue are my brother's high school colors so naturally this scarf is for him. It was super easy to make and took about 1.5 hrs uninterupted. It is very long but then he is 6ft3. 

How To:

Start by chaining the length you'd like the scarf to be.

Chain three, double crochet into the 4th chain. Continue to double crochet into each chain till you reach the end. Chain three and turn around. Again, continue to double crochet in each double crochet till you reach the end and then repete a 3rd time. If you'd like to change color, now is the time to tie it in. Chain three and turn, creating your last row on this side, double crochet the whole way down. Once you've reached the end, chain two and turn to continue along the short edge of the scarf. Double crochet to the end and repete the chain two, double crochet  down the other long side. Finish it up by completing the last short side and tie it off. 

Comment with any questions you may have.

Note: I used an O sized hook and thick and easy lion brand yarn.

DIY No-Sew Scarf Tutorial

Tis the season for gift exchanges and I am going to one on Sunday. It's called a Pinterest party and we are all bringing Pinterest inspired gifts and food. I have left over minky material from one of my crafts and decided at $15 a yard, I was not going to waste any. Here's a quickie on how to make a no sew scarf out of really soft minky fabric!

I took the fabric and folded it in thirds, hotdog style. I cut 4-4 inch long strips out of each fold and tied 6 knots to hold the ends together. The scarf took 15 minutes start to finish. It should look something like this.

The amount of fabric left over was the perfect length for a toddler scarf and my daughter looooves scarfs! 

She won't let me take it off of her :)

I'll blog about the crafts I made for the party after Sunday :). Happy crafting y'all!
