Scarves and cowls play a big part in my fall and winter wardrobe. They don't just keep me warm, they are the magical touch to transform a simple cardigan or my plain winter coat into a colorful and (sometimes) even trendy winter outfit. And who doesn't love a cozy way to get stylish, right? Let's have a peek. I made sure to cover different trends, so I bet you'll find at least one ideal project for you.
Scarf Sewing Patterns
Learn how to make a practical scarf to fight off the winter cold. Scarves make beautiful accessories for any style, and I hope you'll find your favorite here. These diy scarves will not only keep you warm this winter, but they are also a quick way to renew your winter outfit. Take a look at these different styles and pick the one that works best for you. Let's stay warm and cozy!
You can hand sew or use a sewing machine to complete most of the projects, but it goes much faster with a sewing machine. As for the fabric, you'll notice that the choice of scarf fabrics needs to be based on the type of scarf you're sewing, meaning that each of the projects will have the recommended scarf materials listed.
Oh, and while sewing, don't forget to make a few super easy diy pocket hand warmers - use the 4 free templates to keep your hands all toasty and warm.

11) Patchwork Scarf
If long scarves get in your way, make a shorter one, like Melissa did in her tutorial. A lovely print combination, too!
How did you like the selection? Hope it will inspire you to sew a few scarves for yourself, too. I've got a few scarves done already, now I need to make myself a pair of winter gloves or mittens. Oh, and a few pairs for the kids, too! And then - welcome, winter!
There are even more scarf types you can make using fabric, so I'm on the lookout for these, too: scarves or shawls with ruffled edges, fringed scarves, and in particular, lacy scarves - those delicate lace patterns create a feminine and intricate look, perfect for adding a touch of romance to an outfit! I've yet to find the perfect lace for a scarf in my local fabric store. I'm thinking to make a triangular shawl with it?
