Infinity scarves are also called circle scarves. They are a length of fabric, fabric strands, or fabric braids that are sewn or tied at the end to form a circle or oval shape. They can also be knit. Some can we worn at full length, or wound in two or more loops to make the scarf fuller and shorter. They can be embellished or plain, and are not just for women! In the case of the flat fabric scarves, they can be pulled up as a hood or worn over the shoulders as a cape. American Apparel has a great chart showing how you can wear an infinity scarf.



You may be the thrifty, crafty kind like I am. In that case, I have found some links on how to make one yourself:

I took a flat scarf that I purchased for the amazing price of $1.00 at a flea market (score!) and turned it into an infinity scarf. It was pretty easy being that it had tassels at the end which I could simply tie together.  

I made a video on how to do this which you can find on YouTube: http://youtu.be/poYM3py-D2c   Sorry that it sounds a little monotone, I am new at video making!

Please let me know if you have any questions!
