Yarn + Leather Cuff Scarf

Bought a gorgeous skein of yarn with the intention of learning how to knit… 5 years ago? Yeah, us too. Grab a couple pieces of leather and create this simply scarf. (via Honestly WTF)

Freezer Paper Stenciled Scarf

Love this geometric pattern created using freezer paper stencils. See also: Freezer paper stencil pillow cases! (via How About Orange)

Restyled Scarf

If you’ve got an old scarf that needs an update, get a fresh new roll of yarn and stitch it right in. (via A Beautiful Mess)

No-Sew Infinity Button Scarf

This is listed as no sew because it shows you how to use a toothpick instead of a needle to add a couple cute buttons. So fun! (via PS Heart)

Pocket Scarf

We turned a stretched out old sweater into a pocket scarf! (via Brit + Co.)

Wrapped in Bows

How cute is this? Definitely a good hack for a little one, this shows you how to turn two inexpensive scarves into one bow-filled wonder. (via Ruffles & Stuff)

Infinity Scarf from Old Sweaters

Another great way to use old sweaters is to quilt them together to make a patchwork scarf. (via Rock Mosaic)

No-Knit Yarn Scarf

This is an Etsy item that old over a year ago, but we think it’s great inspiration for some DIY action. (via Etsy)

Definitely for the more advanced DIYer, this breaks down the honeycomb technique of adding more texture to a jersey-knit scarf. (via Anne Kata)

Bobble Scarf

Pom poms always add a punch to winter fashion. (via Crown Hill)

Skirt to Scarf

Speaking of turning garments into scarves, this skirt was snagged for $5 and makes such an awesome scarf! (via Sisters Suitcase)

Strung Silk Scarf

Ok ok, this is an item from Anthropologie not a DIY tutorial… but we think we can turn it into one. Stay tuned. (via Anthropologie)

Lace Tipped Scarf

To update an existing scarf, grab a bit of lace (this person used an old lace tablecloth) and get a whole new look. (via Natasha Goes)

Braided Layered Scarf

Braids and jersey knit fabric are a match made in heaven. (via Nette Vivante)

Vintage T-Shirt Scarf

Don’t have time to make a full on t-shirt quilt? Make a few scarves with all those old concert threads! (via Just Something I Made)
