How I Made a Holiday Pom-Pom Infinity Scarf from a T-Shirt


Pom-pom Holiday Infinity ScarfToday I’m going to share with you how I made this super cute Holiday Pom-Pom Infinity Scarf for my niece.  This project didn’t end up the way I had initially imagined it.  It turned out so much better!  Luckily for me, my mistakes forced me improvise my plans, and I achieved a better result in the end.  Ready for the saga of the Holiday Pom-Pom Infinity Scarf?  Here goes!

I started out with this cute holiday turtleneck I picked up at the Goodwill store.  I loved the combination of greens, reds and pinks in this shirt, and knew it would make an adorable scarf for my niece.  My initial plans were to make a simple infinity scarf out of this shirt.

Holiday Infinity Scarf DIYI started out by cutting the sleeves and neck off of the shirt.

Holiday Infinity Scarf from turtleneckIf you had chosen a shirt with print on both sides of the material, you could end the project here and call it a day. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t think of this when I purchased the shirt and the print was only on one side.  I didn’t like this because when you put the scarf on, you could see the white on the inside.  (You can see the white on the picture below.)

I had to put my thinking cap on to correct this issue.  So, I decided to add a crochet border to the scarf.  I punched holes evenly around the scarf on both sides and single crocheted around the border with some green yarn I had on hand.

Holiday Pom-pom Infinity ScarfWhat do you think of the way this scarf turned out?  Have you ever started a project that went wrong, but redeemed yourself by improvising?  If so, please share it with me.  I love hearing from you!
