DIY: How to turn a regular scarf into an infinity scarf

Are just as in love with infinity scarves a I am? If so, this might be something for you. I was in desperate need of a red infinity scarf to match my red barrette and cloves, but I knew knitting one would take hours, and I wasn't really sure about the design. I didn't want to spend hours on a scarf I might not like once it's done. So I came up with a much quicker solution using a regular scarf I knit a few years ago.

The process is pretty simple. Remove the tassels, then sew the two ends of the scarf together and you've got yourself a new infinity scarf. I'm very happy with my "new" scarf. And I got to use something I already owned ( I really don't need to add to my ever expanding scarves and hats collection).

Happy crafting!

Tamar's Knitted Infinity Scarf DIY

The past week has been full of fun with family and friends, but I'm beginning to miss this blog and my sewing machines back in the city. Since it's going to be another week before I'm reunited with my sweeties and can start sewing again, there will be more knitting and style posts than usual over the course of next week.

Knitting is actually my second most favorite craft next to sewing. Every year I get the knitting itch as soon as the weather gets colder. Oddly, that didn't happen this year, and my knitting urge didn't kick in until November. I guess I had some catching up to do, because in December I've already knitted a hat for Anneliis, a scarf and wrist warmers for my teachers, and this cozy infinity scarf for Tamar as a Christmas present.

Since this infinity scarf was so simple in design, I thought I'd share the knitting process with you, so you could recreate it if you'd like. This would make a great first knitting project because it's pretty fool proof and uses only the very basic knitting techniques and stitches.
