.Scarfs Galore IV.

After making all these scarfs, I had a lot of leftover fabric lying around and I knew just what to do. First off, a few months ago my friend Katie was wearing a super cute pair of boots with these cute knee high socks.....or so I thought. She revealed that they were not actually socks but sleeves to an old sweater she cut off and wore under her boots. SO FREAKIN' CUTE! After I made the sweater-cowl neck scarf, I knew just how to use the sleeves, make them into socks/leg warmers.
Literally, all I did was cut the sleeves off the sweater and I managed to gain two useful ways to wear them.

Look A.) wearing a pair of skinny jeans or leggings around the house? Throw on your sleeves for a cute leg warmer look.

Look B.) Again, wearing skinny jeans or leggings and add your favorite boots. BOOM, cute boot-socks ;)

After turning my old winter white scarf into an infinity scarf, I had the yarn fringe left over and I was wondering what to do with all that nice yarn. I then remembered a cute headband I saw a tutorial on a blog a few days ago.

First you take an old T-shirt a cut off the sleeve.

From there you trim off the hemmed edge and the edge that was connected to the shirt.

 That should leave you with a 2-4" loop. (there is no need to worry about the edges being perfect, they curl up anyways.)
You can leave the headband as is, or you can take a needle and thread and make a few running stitches on the head band. Make sure you use the same color thread as your headband, I used white so you can see what I am talking about. You then scrunch it to your desired look and tie off the thread.


You can leave it like this or add a cute flower or accessory to the headband. I choose to take the white yarn from my scarf, as I stated above, and make a pom-pom. I then sewed the small, cute pom-pom to the cinched part of the headband. Check out that cutenss.



Was not done on purpose, but this headband can double as a cute accessory on UNC game day ;)
