You Will Need (5 things)

  • Yarn
  • Two Hands And Ten Fingers
  • Two Hands And Ten Fingers
  • Two Hands And Ten Fingers
  • Two Hands With Five Fingers Each

Steps (11 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    First grab some yarn, I like to use two strands, it gives the scarf a little more thickness. If you are using that fluffy thin yarn you are going to want some normal yarn to go with it.

  2. 2

    Now make a slip knot and place it on your thumb.

  3. 3

    Now weave the yarn back and forth between your fingers as shown here...

  4. 4

    Then wrap around your pinky finger and weave again...

  5. 5

    Repeat steps three and four until you have two loops on each finger. Now lift the bottom loop on the pinky over the top one and off the finger. Continue with the remaining fingers. (I hope this makes sense if if doesn't comment and I will try to explain better)

  6. 6

    Continue weaving so there are two loops and lifting loops off so there is one until it starts to look like this then keep going till its the length you want. *It is going to roll in on itself. don't worry that's whats supposed to happen ;)* (I just Henna'd my hand that's why there are leaves on my fingers)

  7. 7

    To tie off the end cut the string about three inches long then slip it through the loops that are on your fingers.

  8. 8

    It will end up looking like this. Its nice and warm like this but i like to add some fringe :)

  9. 9

    Wrap ether just the thin fancy yarn or both colors around something about as long as you want your fringe. cut the loops in half then tie them onto the ends of the scarf...

  10. 10

    So it looks like this!

    Now wrap it up and give to someone or put it on and enjoy it yourself!
