Loop Scarf Ideas.

I am in the process of crocheting my own long and wide loop scarf (also known as an eternity scarf, circle scarf, and endless scarf or a Snood) with winter fast approaching I am sure it will become a well used and favourite accessory of mine. Especially as I walk almost everywhere.


I am making my scarf nice and wide so I can wear it over my head as a hooded scarf in extra cold weather, or in light rain. I started to think about an easy way for someone to make their own Loop Scarf without crocheting the whole thing, so you can quickly and easily have a trendy scarf to keep you warm throughout the winter and will have you looking extremely stylish all at the same time. 


You will need to do a little bit of sewing to make your own loop scarf. Just shop around at discount stores, or even op shops to find a great looking traditional scarf, if the scarf has tassels on the ends, make sure they can be easily removed and the ends of the scarf will remain intact after the tassels are removed.


Take your scarf home, and carefully remove the tassels on each end (this can usually be done by un- looping the tassels, as they are quite often strips of yarn looped through the scarf end, and pulled through onto themselves) keep the tassels for sewing your scarf together.


Get a large eyed needle (for using with thick yarn) and use the pieces of old tassel yarn to sew the two ends of your scarf together. Make sure the scarf is not twisted before sewing. **If you have trouble getting the yarn through the eye of the needle, find some dental floss, fold the floss in half, poke the folded end of floss through the eye of the needle so you have a loop of floss sticking out of the needle eye, put your yarn through the floss loop and pull the floss through the eye of the needle, which will pull the yard through the eye of the needle. 


If your scarf has no tassels, just sew the two ends of your scarf together with yarn matching the colour of the scarf. Remembering to make sure the scarf is not twisted before sewing.This method will give you a nice knitted loop scarf.


Another way of making a Loop Scarf that would be more lightweight and would be a wide scarf would be to purchase a 'pashmina' style scarf, which can also be found at most discount stores, fold the pashmina in half and machine sew along the edge to form a loop. Zig zag stitch along the same edge and then cut off the tassled part of the scarf. This will give you a nice cotton style Loop Scarf.
