Pin the short 15-inch (38.1 cm) edges together with right sides facing each other, and then stitch them using a 1/4-inch (6 mm) seam allowance.

Step 6

Continue to stitch T-shirt lengths together until the scarf measures 76 inches (193 cm) long.

Step 7

Lay the ends of the scarf flat and make 29 cuts up into the scarf, each 5 inches (12.7 cm) long and 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) wide, to create a fringe at both ends.

Step 8

Using a square knot, tie two fringe strips together and then give them a bit of a tug to create a rolled rope effect. Repeat for the remaining fringe strips.

Step 9

Knot the ends of the fringe.
