Another T-shirt Scarf Night

I had a blast making t-shirt scarves the other weekend and since then I've found several more t-shirt scarf "patterns." Since I purchased quite a few t-shirts at Michael's, I figured, why not try out a few of these other ideas and have a variety of scarves. I love scarves and these are some of the comfiest I've worn.

This second design was also found on Pinterest. The thing I love most about all these different scarves is that they all use the same basic steps. Therefore, if you have tried the first one, the rest are easy peasy.

The original design for this scarf (found on ettestudios.com) uses just one color of shirt. I used two. You copy the first step of the other scarf and cut the same basic strips out of the t-shirts. After stretching them out, divide them into two groups. I took ten red strips and six black strips in each group and placed them next to each other, as the picture below shows.


You then take another strip, cut it and tie the two groups together. Do the same to the other ends, making a circle. The final step is to wrap the remainder of the strip you tied around each end of the loops around and around and around and around... well, you get the picture. I tied a knot at the end and creatively tucked it in so it wouldn't show. You then have your scarf!


I actually like this one better than the first design I made. It's cozier and it hugs my neck tighter. It's so cozy that I forget I'm wearing it all the time. I actually went to bed with it on.


Hope you enjoy and happy crafting :).
