About
Cozy tube scarf made from a thrifted sweater.
I was so close to buying one of these about a month ago - but then I forced myself to walk away, reminding myself that it could easily be DIY'd. I made this one with a thrifted Mens' sweater that cost me an entire $4 at Goodwill, making it way less than most store bought scarves. Even if you sewed it by hand, it's still super easy!

Step 1Supplies:
- Knit sweater. I used a Large Mens sweater, purchased at Goodwill.
- Sewing pins
- Thread
- Needle or sewing machine
- Scissors
- Measuring tape, if needed -
Step 21) Lay the sweater flat. You'll be cutting out the entire "body" of the sweater, which will essentially be your entire scarf.
-
Step 3
2) Cut down both sides of the sweater. I was able to use the sweater's natural lines as a guide.
-
Step 4After cutting.
-
Step 52) Cut straight across the top.
-
Step 63) Trim if necessary. My entire sweater rectangle was about 20 inches wide, but I cut off about 4 inches of it. Trimming totally depends on preference and the size of your sweater, of course!
-
Step 74) Flip the sweater pieces so that the right sides are facing each other. Pin down the sides about an inch away from the edge.
-
Step 8Pin both sides.
-
Step 95) Sew both sides right up.
-
Step 106) Roll the top raw edge in, and pin all around.
-
Step 117) Sew across to finish off the top edge.
-
Step 12You should end up with - surprise - a tube of sweater material. Hanging up, the top portion looks wider than the bottom but that's because it's stretchy. Simply slip your head through it and you have a warm and cozy scarf :)
