You Will Need (3 things)

  • stretch Thread
  • ¼ yd printed Knit Fabric
  • ¼ yd near solid Knit Fabric

Steps (3 steps, 600 minutes)

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
