Today’s a beautiful day for homemade holiday gifts!
I already love the gifts made by my co-hosts:
(Vintage mug planters via Primitive and Proper, Winter knit infinity scarf via NewlyWoodwards, Simple pajama pants via Maybe Matilda , Good dog treat jar via Decor and the Dog )
Before you head over to link up your projects, I first need to share my knit infinity scarf I made for a gift. I feel like a scarf is a wonderful gift for any woman on your Christmas list. I picked up this Fair Isle-style knit after last Christmas for a buck a yard. I love the pattern and that it’s black and white – meaning it can really be worn with anything.
If you want a tutorial, check out this one at Decor and the Dog. This can be a super quick project if you aren’t engrossed in an episode of Bones. Instead of flannel, I used knit. And I also made my version a lot bigger, to allow it to be doubled. The knit on this is very thick and lies really nicely.
And here’s how it looks on. I totally made one for myself, too. But I promise, one is also a gift.
These were so easy, I think I could whip up another dozen.
Where did you find that fabric for the scarf? I have been searching everywhere.
I gotta do this before winter is over! And, p.s. Thanks a bazillion for your sweet comment on my post today, Kim. You are such a dear friend to me and a wonderful momma to Henry. Thank you so much. You always say the perfect thing to make me feel good!
For just a dollar a yard that was a great purchase! It looks super cute on!
I wish that we were friends so that you had to give me a christmas gift each year. You wouldn’t receive much from me in return, but you’re cool with one-sided relationships, right??
Yep. I love this. I totally ordered one from you guys the other day. A plaid one. I CAN’T WAIT!
I love infinity scarves, I think finding a knit fabric and making one sounds like such a better idea than knitting one – which I always just assumed was the only option! Well done, love the print!
this is beautiful! i don’t blame you one bit for keeping one for yourself!
The fabric you used for the scarf is lovely!! It’s so pretty!
That fabric is fantastic! I’d love to see that scarf under the tree 😉
You are adorable, and so is the scarf! I love it!!
I love the fair isle fabric. Where did you get it? It makes a very beautiful scarf. I’ll send you my address, so you can go ahead and pop that in the mail for me. 😉
Great fabric! I love that you can double it. There is nothing I love more than a big chunky scarf around my neck!
xo

Love that scarf…..that fabric is fabulous–$1/yard?!!!?
i would have made one for myself too since they turned out so cute!
Ahhhhh!!! You can totally make one for me, I freaking LOVE it!! Looks lovely on you.
Ugh – I cannot get enough of Fair Isle everything this year!! I love that scarf so damn much. I really need to learn how to sew. Let me know when you start offering classes 🙂
