Day 4...Kids' Scarf

This is a really cut idea for kids.  Every winter I have a hard time finding scarf that are small enough for kids, and when I do it's at a specialty store and I have to pay an arm and a leg!  So this 'pin' has a really good tutorial on how to make kids scarfs out of...wait for it....knee high socks!!  Yup, that's right!  And I can usually get a really good deal (less than two dollars a pair) once they go on clearance.  I made a couple for the boys when I first saw the pin...

here's a pic of one of my little ham' wearing one...









but on my recent trip to Target I found a ton on clearance, so today I made a girl's scarf

I actually started this on day 4, but had to leave so I'm finish up my day 4 post now.... just after 1am (day 5)  so the long and the short of it, cut off the foot of the socks.  make one of the socks inside out and then slide on sock over the other, making sure the
two right sides match. 


 Sew the cut ends together then pull the top sock apart from the inside sock so now out have one long piece. 

You can use a piece of velcro that will hold the sock around the kiddo's neck.  You can use some cute embellishments to add some flair.  done :)
