Instructions

1. • 1
     Lay out the fabric with the selvage edges (the woven, uncut edges running parallel to each other) at the top and bottom of the fabric. Make a 1/2-inch cut into the top selvage at the left and right upper corners of the fabric. Pull a crosswise thread that appears at each cutting point until the threads travel all the way down to the other selvage edge. You should see two straight vertical lines in the fabric.
   • 2
     Cut along each vertical line to square the edges of the silk.
   • 3
     Fold the silk lengthwise with right sides facing in. Match the corners and edges carefully and pin the edges to hold them in place.
   • 4
     Sew the three edges with the sewing machine, using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Leave a 5-inch opening at some point along the long side for turning the scarf right side out.
   • 5
     Turn the scarf right side out carefully, pulling the corners to make them pointed.
   • 6
     Set the iron to a silk setting and press the scarf well.
   • 7
     Cut an 18-inch length of thread and thread the needle. Pull the thread to make a double length of thread and tie a knot in the ends of the thread.
   • 8
     Slipstitch the opening closed using tiny stitches. Tie a knot at the end of the stitching and cut off the excess thread to finish.

Tips & Warnings

• Make a two-toned reversible scarf by using two 2-yard by 22-inch lengths of fabric instead. Place the fabrics together with right sides facing each other and stitch around all four sides, leaving the same opening for turning. Finish the scarf in the same way as for the single-fabric scarf.
