She’s using the Darcy Infinity Scarf pattern (#2042) from Trish Newbery, and of course she used Luxe Cuddle® minky plush fabric to take the softness and warmth to the next level.

These products can be substituted for whatever you have on hand, but here is what Teresa recommends for her Luxe Cuddle® Hooded Infinity Scarf tutorial:

Fabric requirements:

• 1-yard Luxe Cuddle® OR two ½-yard cuts Luxe Cuddle®
  • Luxe Cuddle® Heather Quartz (one-yard version)
  • Luxe Cuddle® Glacier Viola and Sparkle Cuddle® Glitter Viola/Multi (two ½ yd. cuts version)
  • Luxe Cuddle® Glacier Viola and Luxe Cuddle® Chinchilla Iris (two ½ yd. cuts version)

Instructions for sewing a Luxe Cuddle® Hooded Infinity Scarf (Darcy Infinity Scarf tutorial)

• Trace around pattern with felt tip marker then cut out. Cut two layers together if using a rotary cutter (one layer at a time if using the blade).
• Make sure to transfer markings. Teresa added two additional marks at the fold.
• Instead of the usual ½” seam allowance, this pattern calls for a ¼ seam allowance; you can straight stitch, zig zag or serge.
• Hand sew or zig zag turning gap closed, then top-stitch.
• Try mixing different fabrics together: different Luxe Cuddle® fabrics in the same color; mix Luxe Cuddle® with Cuddle® 3; or make it extra luxurious with one side made of Luxe Cuddle® Seal.
