To Infinity and Beyond

My magnificent friend, Tori, gave me an old scarf that she no longer used. I decided the scarf just needed a little fixer-upping and it turned out to be an AWESOME piece to wear for the fall/winter! Now I'm excited to wear it.  
Shout out to Tori! Who let me have her old scarf and use the cute nail polish I'm wearing! (nail polish:Millennium by China glaze)

well.. pretty much what I did with the scarf was take a regular scarf and turn it into an infinity scarf.
Here's some easy steps I took which you could take to revamp your old/wide/loosely knit scarves! :

This is how the scarf looks in the beginning (this one had tassels tied to the ends. yours may not which will be a lot easier for you to work with!)
 These are the tassels in the end which should be easily removed. All you have to do is un-knot it by hand, if the knot is too tight.. you can easily cut the tassels off with scissors. Just make sure to not cut the scarf itself.
 This is how it should look after you've taken the tassels off ( make sure to keep the excess yarn that has been removed to later tie both ends of the scarf together)

 Take both ends of the scarf and take the excess yarn (from the tassels) and tie the ends together. Input and tie in multiple pieces of yarn to create a seam between the scarves. If the excess yarn was too short for you to create double knots, you can use/buy some yarn similar in color with your scarf to tie the ends together.
 This is how it should look after you tie the ends together. After this.. carefully cut out the excess long pieces of yarn leaving only the knot between the scarves.
 Then you're left with an awesome infinity scarf for the cool weather! :]

 It's a real easy thing to do when  you wanna change things up! Not complicated at all:] I think it turned out pretty cute! HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THE WONDERFUL COOL WEATHER! reminds me that Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming!
