My mother-in-law and sister-in-law asked for infinity scarves for Christmas. I've had a couple of patterns/tutorials pinned for a while now, just waiting until I had a sewing machine to give them a try. I figured they couldn't be *that* difficult.
Here's the tutorial that I used:

I took a trip to Joann's and found some black, multi-colored, and what I'll call "Sully" fabrics. The black and multi-colored we for my in-laws for Christmas. The "Sully" was just because I couldn't resist the fabric.
I started out doing a mock up with a fabric remnant, which I've learned is a good idea. The biggest thing I needed to figure out was closing up the ends. Once I found the tutorial above, that was a huge help.
After figuring all of that out, I cut the black fabric and made 3 of those scarves. I cut those a bit thicker, as I figured those would likely get used under jackets since the fabric was a little heavier.

Once I was done with the black scarves, I started with the multi-colored scarves. I made 4 of those, cut a little thinner. I am in love with these. The fabric feels awesome & they're light enough you can wear them all day.

I moved on to the "Sully" fabric. I also did 4 of these. I'm calling it the Sully because it's blue with purple dots & reminds me of Sully from Monsters, Inc. (I love that movie!) I didn't give these to my in-laws, but I did send one home with my mom for my sister. She loves it!

I think my favorite is the multi-color. It's the perfect weight & goes with pretty much everything. My in-laws say they liked the scarves. I hope they're getting some good use out of them!
