Step 1
Ruffled Scarf:
1. Place both 6" strips wrong sides together and pin along
each long edge. Baste 1/8" along each raw edge,
stretching the knit fabric as you feed it into your machine.2. Set up your Baby Lock serger to do a rolled hem. Using
contrasting color threads and a textured thread (like
Wholly Nylon) in your upper looper, create a lettuce-edge
rolled hem along both long edges of the scarf. To give
it the “lettuce” effect, slightly stretch your knit fabric by
hand as you are feeding it into the serger.3. Fold each 18" x 3" piece in half widthwise, right sides
together, and pin along each short edge. Stitch with a
1/2" seam allowance. Press seam and turn right side out.
Baste gathering stitches around one raw edge of each
piece and create a lettuce-edge rolled hem around the
other raw edge.4. Gather the ruffle piece to equal the circumference of the
raw edge of your scarf. Place the ruffle piece around the
raw edge, right sides together and pin. Stitch with a 1/2"
seam allowance and finish with a serger or zig zag stitch.
Press seam up into the scarf. -
Step 2
Non-Ruffled Scarf:
1. Place both 6" strips right sides together and pin along
the two short edges. Stitch with a 1/2" seam allowance
leaving the long edges open. Turn scarf right side out
and press each short edge well. Align the raw edges of
each long edge and pin. Baste 1/8" along each raw edge,
stretching the knit fabric as you feed it into your machine.2. Set up your Baby Lock serger to do a rolled hem. Using
contrasting color threads and a textured thread (like
Wholly Nylon) in your upper looper, create a lettuce-edge
rolled hem along both long edges of the scarf. To give
it the “lettuce” effect, slightly stretch your knit fabric by
hand as you are feeding it into the serger. Clip the serger
tails at the ends and dab a little Fray Check on the corners
of your scarf, to prevent unraveling. -
Step 3
Infinity Scarf:
1. Fold each 6" strip in half widthwise, right sides together,
and pin along the short edges. Stitch with a 1/2" seam
allowance and a regular machine stitch, being sure not to
stretch the knit as you feed it through your machine. You
should now have 2 circular bands.2. Place one circular band inside the other, wrong sides
together and pin around the 2 raw edges. Baste 1/8"
around each raw edge, stretching the knit fabric as you
feed it into your machine.3. Set up your Baby Lock serger to do a rolled hem. Using
contrasting color threads and a textured thread (like
Wholly Nylon) in your upper looper, create a lettuceedge
rolled hem along both circular edges of the scarf,
overlapping the beginning stitches about 1" when you
finish. To give it the “lettuce” effect, slightly stretch your
knit fabric by hand as you are feeding it into the serger.
Clip the serger tails at the ends and dab a little Fray Check
on the overlap, to prevent unraveling.
