Basic Instructions

First of all, decide on how long you want to scarf to be and then, measure its dimensions.

Finally, hem the sides of the scarf.

Cut out the rectangle along the marked lines, making use of dressmaker shears.
Draw a series of horizontal lines, ¼ inch apart, between the outer and inner markings on the scarf.
Cut along each of the horizontal lines, made in the previous step, using dressmaker shears or a rotary cutter.
