Before discarding t-shirts you no longer wear, consider making a lightweight scarf out of them. This scarf is light enough to wear year-round and would make a great, inexpensive Christmas gift for that hard-to-buy-for teen on your list! Recycled Pink T-shirt Scarf

 

Approximate Time: less than 1 hour

Supplies:

Instructions:

Note: If you don't have a rotary cutter and mat for this project, you could use scissors and a ruler to cut out your squares, but it goes quicker using the cutter and mat.

  1. First, spread t-shirt out on cutting mat and use rotary cutter and trim away neck band, hem, and sleeves. Cut the body and sleeves of the shirt into 4-inch squares. (It takes about 35-40 squares. You could add more if you prefer a longer scarf.)

  2. Rotary knife cutting pink jersey fabric
     
    Stack of pink jersey fabric squares
     

  3. Place the squares, one by one, on top of each other in a diamond pattern. The tip of one square should be centered on the middle of the square underneath it. Pin squares in place until all squares have been pinned together.

  4. Pick Fabric Squares lined up corner to corner.
     

  5. Sew a zig-zag or straight stitch down the middle of the entire scarf.

  6. Line of pink fabric squares being sewn down the middle.

A barbwire t-shirt scarf its knitted from t-shirts, I but can't find out how many stitches I need to knit the scarf. Does anyone have the pattern? I was not able to post a photo. But it can be found on-line under images.google.com. Type in barbwire t-shirt scarf.

Looks like 8-10 stitches for a large needle, maybe size 12-13.
