weaving a scarf

This is fabric from the craft or sewing store. It is usually used for making pockets in sports bags and lining pockets in hoodies. It comes in a bolt like the rest of the material. This fabric with the big holes is also available in some knitting stores but it is more costly. When you get home you cut your fabric into a width that will be comfortable to wear as a scarf. There are several ways to bind up the edges. You could fold the material over at the edge and seam it on a machine or by hand or you could fold it over and weave through all the layers. Collect all the yarns you might have left over from other projects. I really recommend doing this because it cuts down on your stash and gives you a good reason to go out and buy more or you can buy new yarns to match an outfit. Now the fun begins. I use a plastic needle and weave in and out. That is all there is to it. You can put one line of yarn in and out through the holes or you might have to use several strands of yarn to fill in the spaces. Even young children like doing this. It is great tv time work. It makes a gift worthy of giving.
