Fringey Fall Scarf

Somehow, I just can't have too many scarves...

A little revamping of a summery cotton scarf makes it a perfect autumnal accessory!

Here's what I started out with, a light cotton, square scarf with a metallic stripe.
Deciding on a banded dye pattern, I laid out a grid of large and small concentric circles. Using rubber bands I got the whole scarf all set for dyeing.

Then I dyed it with 1/2 bottle black RIT for about 20 minutes on the stovetop. I added 1cup of salt and 1T of laundry detergent to maximize dye
retention.
If you're looking to do a true black, use a full bottle. I was going for a more subtle color.

Well, here's where I find out that cheap rubber bands are cheap for a reason. About half the bands popped during the dye process. This kinda messed up the pattern I had so meticulously set up. OY!!
Not one to take a craft-fail lying down, I whipped out my trusty bleach pen and add some extra details in the black spaces.
