Refashion: Scarf to Vest

Here is a quick, no-sew way to turn a scarf into a lose, flowy vest.

I can't take the credit for the idea. (I saw it here first) Some of the commenters had complained that the directions were a little unclear, so I thought I'd try to make it easier to follow.

STEP 1:

PICK OUT AN OBLONG/RECTANGULAR SCARF

(MINE IS ABOUT 6FT BY 2FT)

LAY IT OUT FLAT

STEP 2:

FOLD IT IN HALF SO THAT THE SHORTER EDGES LINE UP WITH EACH OTHER

STEP 3:

FOLD IN HALF AGAIN SO THAT THE CENTER FOLD 

NOW LINES UP WITH THE OTHER EDGES

STEP 4:

GRAB THE TOP CORNER OF THE FOLDED PORTION IN YOUR LEFT HAND

GRAB THE TOP CORNER OF THE RAW EDGES IN YOUR RIGHT HAND

STEP 5:

TIE THE FOLDED CORNER AND THE EDGE CORNERS INTO A DOUBLE KNOT

KEEP THE KNOT AS CLOSE TO THE EDGE AS POSSIBLE

(OTHERWISE, YOU'LL MAKE THE ARM HOLES REALLY SMALL)

HOLD THE KNOT IN YOUR HAND 

SEPARATE THE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF THE SCARF

STEP 6:

SLIP YOUR ARMS THROUGH THE 2 NEW ARM HOLES YOU JUST MADE

THE KNOT WILL REST BEHIND YOUR UPPER BACK

STEP 7:

ADJUST THE KNOT AND THE DRAPE UNTIL YOU FEEL LIKE IT LOOKS RIGHT

I FOUND THAT IT FIT THE BEST AND WAS LESS BUNCHY IF THE KNOT WAS PULLED DOWN FURTHER INSTEAD OF UP BEHIND MY NECK

I'M SURE THIS WILL LOOK A LOT CUTER WITH JEANS AND ACCESSORIES INSTEAD OF OVER MY PAJAMAS, BUT YOU GET THE POINT.
