Infinity scarves really are the perfect accessory – they can be worn in so many fun ways, they can quickly jazz up an otherwise plain outfit, and they’re easy to throw on in case of chilly temperatures. Plus, they’re very simple to make on your own. In this article, you will learn how to sew an infinity scarf made from cozy jersey knit fabric that will drape nicely when arranged around your neck.
- 2 yards of jersey knit fabric
- Walking foot
- Stretch or ball point needle
- Thread
Step 1: Cut
Cut the fabric on the natural fold so that you have two pieces, both 2 yards long. You’ll now be able to make two scarves: one for you and one for a friend!
Step 2: Pin
Fold in half long ways, right sides together. Line up the edges (as best as possible – they will be fussy). Pin the sides, starting at 3 inches from the short edge and stopping 3 inches from the other short edge. (Feel free to over-pin.)
Step 3: Sew the main seam:
Sew the short sides:
Connect the ends:
Sew the hole closed:

It’s awesome to go to see this web site and reading the views of all friends
on the topic of this paragraph, while I am also eager of getting knowledge.
Could this project (infinity scarf) be made with a serger?
Dear Janet,
Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-
Yes, you can definitely use a serger for this project. However, when you join the ends you may want to consider doing just this seam with a standard machine or even by hand so that you do not see the serged edge.

Thank you. I’m going to make this for a gift. Looks very easy.
Interesting, I enjoy reading and trying the patterns.
Would like to make a personal design scarf.
Ticket 20151 This project looks very easy but my walking foot doesn’t seem to walk much. Can I use a serger instead?
Dear Mary,
Thank you for your patience. In regards to your question-
Yes, a serger is a great idea for this project!

Thank you, I don’t know what happened to my walking foot but I did order a new one. Will try the serger for the first one.
Ticket 19893 How wide is the scarf? I know it is 2 feet long but most Jersey knits come 60″. So is it approximately 15″finished? Thanks.
Dear Diana,
Thank you for contacting us. In regards to your question-
Yes, you are correct- approximately 15″.

Loved the infinity scarf pattern and great instruction.
Beautiful! Thank you. .
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very well done and easy to follow.
I absolutely love to watch the videos with Aurora Sisneros. She always explains what she is doing with such clarity and I can easily make the project she’s demonstrating. She’s my favorite!
Loved your easy-to-sew infinity scarf pattern. I’m going to make some to give away at our annual breast cancer survivors luncheon.
MY COMPUTER WAS HACKED BY THE ADS BEFORE THE VIDEO, SENT ME TO FACEBOOK AND FROZE ON THE AD. NO VIDEO.
DON’T KNOW WHAT MODERATION IS BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE VIDEOS.
Thanks, I’m a learning sewer but I don’t know a lot about patterns ( but want to learn), I do more the repair jobs etc. This looks so easy I’m going to give it a try. :)
thank you
thanks
I’ll be trying the infinity scarf pattern. Thank you.
This is fantastic. I have been putting off making one of these because I did not realize how simple it was. I wear scarfs a lot. Now I will have a lot more. Thank You
Very clear, well demonstrated, easy to understand. Thank you.
very nice
This is one of the simplest patterns/instructions I’ve come across for an infinity scarf. Thanks!!
Any idea on the size for a Mother/Daughter scarf? The daughter is 4 years old. I think she would get swallowed in 2 yards worth of fabric. Thank you!
Hi Judy. A yard to a yard and a half might work better for your daughter. One way to get a good idea of how much fabric you will need is to take measuring tape, wrap it twice and drape it like you would the scarf and see how long it needs to be. If you are still worried that the scarf will look too big on her, you could consider making the width of the scarf smaller. This way it won’t look as bulky when she wraps it around twice.
Hope this helps!

These directions are so simple and easy to follow I think my husband could make the scarf! Thank you!
Hey Melody . Thanks for the the demo on the way to sew a infinity scalf , its clear and easy to make. My ? Is what about using the cotton fabric , does it make a huge difference ? Best regards . venny

Hi Melody. You can construct an infinity scarf from cotton fabric if you would prefer. The main differences will be that the cotton scarf will not drape the same when you wear it. It is a little thicker. The cotton fabric also won’t have the same stretch, so keep that in mind when putting the scarf on.
