Sew the 15 Minute Infinity Scarf in 3 More Ways: Striped, Woven Plaid & Lace Overlay

Can you believe Christmas is in just over a week? I certainly can't, and I've been busily finishing up some last minute handmade Christmas gifts for my family and friends.

Something I'm making this year are piles and piles of infinity scarves (remember the tutorial I posted in September?). They don't take very long, they're so pretty and practical, and you can personalize them with fabric choice to suit the recipient.

I've made three more variations of the classic knit jersey style I had originally made, and I really think they're all pretty!

Sparkly Striped Sweater Knit Infinity Scarf

For a festive and sparkly look (like the first picture above), I made an infinity scarf with a glittery striped sweater knit. I made this one extra wide (the raw fabric measured about 40" wide before it was folded and sewn).

Woven Burgundy & Chocolate Plaid Infinity Scarf

Plaid is trendy in a big way this year, and I made a second version of the infinity scarf with a plaid woven fabric with a slight stretch to it. This one was also extra wide (at about 44" before it was folded and sewn). I'm really liking the look of adding quite a bit of extra width to the scarves, giving them a dramatic full look.

Cream Lace Overlay Infinity Scarf

Finally, I made a third version of the infinity scarf by laying a piece of stretch lace over a piece of stretchy jersey (both were about 15" wide) right sides together. I sewed them together along the length of each side, and then completed the rest of the scarf as I did in my original tutorial. You could use a different colour of knit jersey for a more contrasting look. It's such a romantic version of the infinity scarf!
