I love wearing blanket scarves in the fall and winter time, but they can be so bulky and a bit overwhelming! My solution for that is to just cut them in half! It still creates the look of a blanket scarf, but it eliminates half of the bulk! It’s so easy!!! The scarf I used for this tutorial is only $9.99 and comes in a variety of different colors. (I have the scarf in Plaid Blue)

1. Lay your scarf out flat on the floor. For the tutorial shown, my scarf was sized at 55″ for all the edges.
2. This is a little intimidating, but you can do it! Cut the scarf in half diagonally! Go slow and use fabric scissors if you have them. If you don’t have them, use your sharpest scissors!
3. You should have 2 equal halves! If it isn’t perfect, don’t worry! The next step will take care of that! 
4. Take one of your halves and starting at one end, pull up with your fingers gently on the cut edge to cause it to fray slightly. Do the same thing to both of the triangle pieces!
   
5. That’s it! Now you have 1 scarf for you and 1 for a friend! These make awesome gifts!!!
