How to Make a Scarf That Looks Like a Cowl
Stay warm and stylish this fall and winter by making your own homemade cowl neck scarf. Not only will this scarf keep you warm, but it will also give new life to an old sweater through re-purposing. Pair the scarf with a jacket for a chilly day outside or with a semi-casual outfit to dress it up.

Lay an old sweater out flat on your work surface. Cut the bottom 10 inches off of the sweater. Discard the top or save it for a future project. Cut up one side of the bottom portion of the sweater and fold it open so it's one long strip.

Fold the top edge of the strip down to the bottom edge with the wrong side -- inside -- of the sweater on the outside of the fold. Sew the top and bottom edges together with a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Turn the piece right-side out through one of the open ends.

Fold the ends of the sweater tube in 1/2-inch. Sew each folded end with a 1/4-inch seam allowance to hold the folds. Slip-stitch the folded ends together with needle and thread to create one continuous circular tube.
