Doubled Sided Cowl

Infinity cowl made from two different fabrics to create two different looks

This cowl was made from scraps so you can make yours wider or longer if you want but the minimum width you need is about 1/3 of a yard. The cool part about this cowl is the two different fabrics you can use on either side. When you wear it you can have only one side showing or twist them to reveal both sides. I'm using knit fabric but you could also make this with wovens. If you're sewing with knits be sure to use a zig zag stitch or a serger.

Instructions

  1. Small img 2796

    Cut a rectangle from each of your fabrics measuring 12" x 30". The grainline doesn't really matter in this case.

  2. Small img 2797

    Pin the long sides right sides together and stitch. I used my serger with a 1/4" seam allowance.

  3. Small img 2799

    Pin the shorter ends right sides together, matching the fabrics and stitch leaving about a 4" hole.

  4. Small img 2800

    Turn the cowl right side out.

    Slip stitch the hole closed by hand.
