Easy way #3: Crochet it up!

First, tie your yarn around your crochet hook. Then make a chain two times longer than you want your scarf to be. If you do not know how to make a chain, then keep repeating what the second and third pictures show until you get the desired length. Next, attatch the  two ends together with single crochet. If you do not know how to crochet, then there are lots of helpful videos online. After, double crochet the next loop. Keep doing double crochet until you get the desired length. This was really hard to explain so if you do not know how to do any of the crochet stitches mentioned here  you can check out different DIY websites and youtube videos for how to do them. I made this for Inky so I only needed to do one row ofdouble crochet, but, if you are making this for a larger doll or even a human, you would use bigger yarn and a bigger hook. I used a 4.00 hook and I think the yarn size was 2. I guess you wouldn't have to use bigger yarn and a bigger hook for a doll, but, you would for a human. I am actually making myself an infinity scarf in progress.I hope you enjoyed  my infinity scarf series so bye bye for now!

Easy way #2: Good old needle and thread

First, cut a strip of fabric. Then fold it in half so that the shorter ends meet. Sew these shorter ends together. Turn it right side out and you are done! Refer to the pictures below if you need help.

Cold weather doll stuff: 3 easy ways to make an infinity scarf for a doll

Hello! This craft is pretty easy all three ways but I am going to put it in order from easiest to hardest. Don't worry, the hardest one is not even that hard. I am going to do it in three seperate posts so that you can see the picture right below the instructions. I may even need to use a video if the tablet is able to post videos. Enjoy!

Easy way #1:Sock scarf
This method is easier than pie (making pie is actually a really long process, I guess when the expression was made everyone knew how to make pie). All you have to do is cut the top of the sock off. Really, that is all. If your sock is fraying, then you may want to hem the sides but you do not have to. Refer to the pictures below if you need a little help. Put it around your doll or toy's neck by using the opening where you would have put it on

Cold weather doll stuff: Basic Coat

Some basic supplies
(for all the winter stuff)

·sewing needle and thread (or a sewing machine if you have one)
·any kind of fabric
·a hot glue gun
·any decorative supplies (ribbon, beads,etc.)
·clay or dough (for cozy foods like cookies)
·yarn
·crochet hook or knitting needles (optional)
·paint or chalk pastels (again, for the food if needed)

  Let's start with a basic coat. Start by cutting a rectangle that can fit all the way around your doll. Make sure you leave room for a hem. Hem all the sides by either sewing or gluing. Cut armholes. Make the sleeves by measuring a piece of fabric around your doll's arm leaving room for a hem and other cuts. Glue or sew the longer ends. On the end of the sleeve, make small cuts. Refer to the second image below for how you attatch it. If you want you can attatch something so that it can open and close.

No-sew doll clothes

No-sew doll clothes
     Hi! Inkytude's back with a few more awesome no-sew crafts that you can learn how to make!
No-sew doll dress
     For this dress you will need scissors, fabric, ribbon, and anything pretty you would like to glue on.
     To start, decide how long you want your dress to be. Then cut a strip with that length on the shorter side. Measure and cut as much fabric that can fit comfortably around your doll and cut it there. Now you have a rectangular shape to work with. Cut arm holes where the arms are when you wrap it around her whole body.
      Put your doll into the dress and overlap it at the back. You can chose to glue Velcro at the back of the dress or to tie a ribbon around the waist. You can even use a rubber band. Now you can decorate it to your pleasure!
No-sew doll poncho
     This poncho is very easy and does not take a lot of time at all. The materials needed for this craft are fabric and scissors. Just like the pants!
     Start off by cutting a circle that when folded in half is as long as you want it to be. To give it a different look, you can cut a square instead. When you are done cutting the shape, fold it in quarters and cut the tip at the top just big enough for your doll's head to pass through. Dress your doll from top to bottom. Put on any pretty little details and you are done! HAVE FUN!

See the pictures at the bottom if you need help:-)
