Fringey Fall Scarf

  • Completed Project: Fringey Fall Scarf Picture #1

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

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

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Here's what I started out with, a light cotton, square scarf with a metallic stripe.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    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.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    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!!

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    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.
