Anthropologizing Target: Voluminous Scarf

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

When I spotted this polka-dot Merona scarf at Target, I knew it would be perfect to recreate the Voluminous scarf from Anthropologie. Making this scarf was super-easy, so I included really particular instructions in case some of you darlings want to rock your own mad sewing skills.

The Anthro version used all one color wooden beads, but my pack came with these three colors and I didn't want to buy three packs of beads just to have enough of the brown color. The beautiful thing about recreating? You can do whatever you want!

Most scarves are made of really delicate, woven fabrics, so this row of stitching gives you a strong base to hold it all together.

I used the entire thickness of an embroidery strand. You don't want your thread breaking and sending your beads everywhere.

Pinch the end into a tight ball and wind thread around several times. Make your strands various lengths. I used 25 beads for the first row, 28 for the second and 31 for the third.


You can triple wrap the scarf like this or simply double-loop it for a fuller look.
That's it! Pretty easy, huh? Now go get a scarf and make one for yourself! =)
