the embellished scarf shawl


i  came up with this design while trying to figure out how to recreate this amazing scarf cardigan. i used one of these pashmina-type scarves that i've had sitting around for a while:

 

i admit that i made a mistake measuring how wide the sleeves needed to be to slip over my shoulders so it fits snugly around my forearms with the sleeves that billow/puff out. i did a little ruffling...

 
...used up every bit of fringe (repositioning some of it)...


...and used up the scraps to make a decorative spiral on the back.


you can wear it as a shawl/cardigan...


...or a funky embellished scarf (with my funky embellished jeans)!

 

more details on my blog!

Great! I love that you can barely notice the alteration when worn as a scarf. :) -Seeks, EOD

thanks! yes, the alteration just adds a little bit of extra interest when worn as a scarf.
