Summer Infinity Scarf

I'm a scarf lover. I wear one everyday in the fall and winter. They are by far my favorite accessory, especially while having babies because they add a little color, while still being soft, and aren't at risk of getting broken.

Originally, when I set off to make a lightweight summer scarf I wanted a gauzy material, but I couldn't find anything I liked. Voile (pronounced like foil) is a perfect alternative; lightweight with a fluid drape. Plus there are tons of lovely patterns to choose from.

Tangent: If we ever talk in person, I will always pronounce voile, voilé. After five years of French, it is too painful to say voile, like the English when they say valet (hurts me every time, Downton Abbey!)

Back to the scarf.
Infinity scarves are by far my favorite. I find those pesky tails to be awkward, and I just never know what to do with them, or how to tie it.

How I made it:
1/2 yard of voile or other light-weight material.

1. Cut in half length wise
2. Sew two halves together at one short side and finish seam
3. Hem both sides lengthwise, by folding and ironing down 1/4 inch and folding and iron one more time to enclose raw edge. Straight stitch each side.
4. Try on your scarf and determine how long you want it. Mine is 58 inches long.
5. Sew both ends together to make a loop and finish the raw seam.
