T-Shirt Scarf Ms. Kanoy
What You Need • Old t-shirt • Picture shows Large Black t-shirt • Rotary cutter and mat • Scissors
Step 1 • Cut the hem off the bottom of the t-shirt
Step 2 • Begin cutting the t-shirt horizontally into 1 inch strips which will be loops • You’ll need 14-16 to complete
Step 3 • Cut the loops at one end to make long strips
Step 4 • Lay out 12 strips lengthwise
Step 5 • Match up all of the ends from one end
Step 6 • Using one extra cut strip, tie a knot around the 12 strips you plan to use
Step 7 • Once tied together, separate the strips into 3 groups of 4 strips
Step 8 • Begin braiding the 3 sections together for as long as you’d like
Step 9 • When desired length of braid is reached, use another extra strip to tie a knot at the end of the braid (like you did to start the braid)
Step 10 • Gather the ends of the unbraided strips together and tie a knot around them with the slack from the strip you tied the first knot with. This will create the circle of the scarf.
Step 11 • With the ends of the strips left after the knot, twist around scarf and secure with a knot. Cut ends off or pin back if desired.
Step 12 • Wear your new no-sew, recycled scarf!
