Last week I showed you how to make leg warmers in less than 1 minute and now I am going to show you how to use that same sweater and turn it into an infinity scarf in less than a minute.
Upcycling is such a fun thing to do. I love the thought of taking something old and turning into something new. There are so many thing that can be upcycled, it is kind of exciting.
Here is a video showing you just how I made this infinity scarf!
You are going to need one old sweater and fabric scissors. Lay the sweater flat on the table.
Cut the sweater for one under arm seem to the other.
It should look like this.
Give it a good stretch.
And you are done!
I love the way it looks! 
I just love the way this scarf make an outfit look, it adds so much to so many outfits. I guarantee that you are going to love making these that you are going to end up with a lot of them and you are going to need to a great way to organize your scarves. Do you like wearing scarves?
Both you and Mary are precious! Thanks for such clear and concise instructions. One question…does the cut edge of the sweater not unravel, especially when you stretch it?
It really depends on the sweater. I find that with the big knit sweaters they seem to unravel a little. Although when it is a smoother textured fabric I don’t have any problems! Good luck and have fun!
I was wondering like the lady above, if you needed to wash it, will it unravel? Wondering if I should stitch the raw edge so I wouldn’t have that problem? LOVE this idea though, I have several sweaters that I’m getting ready to make cute fall leg warmers and infinity scarfs out of! Thanks for this tutorial!
Hey Holly, Mine didn’t unravel, although if you feel that your type of material might than it probably wouldn’t hurt to stitch the raw edge. Thanks for following along.
Love the video, and great easy idea for your favorite old sweater recycled!
And it matches your leg warmers, cool. I just made some leg warmers and had to put a drawstring at the top because the sweater I used, had wide sleeves at the top and they kept falling down. It works well. Will be making a scarf next. Thanks!
So cute!!! I love Mary playing with the scissors during the tutorial! LOL
I was wondering if you felted (washed in hot water/dried in hot dryer) the sweater first. If it is felted (only works on wool), it will not unravel.
