Infinity Scarf for Kids

Infinity Scarf For Kids: Inspired by FROZEN’s Princess Anna

My little one woke up at 4:32 this morning singing her very own musical mash-up of the entire FROZEN soundtrack. At 4:32 am, I’m not amazed that her little memory is growing or that her imagination is expanding. No, at 4:32 am I will bribe my little girl with a Princess Anna scarf if she just goes Back. To. Sleep.

So my dear friends, you will hopefully understand why I have another FROZEN inspired project for you today. The little one loves these characters and it’s cold, so why not a Princess Anna infinity scarf?

For those of you who were around when I made this ridiculously easy Princess Anna cape, you know that I had just shy of the length of pom pom trim that I needed. I had the intention of adding it when I got 4 more inches of the stuff, but the little one didn’t want me to change her cape. I must admit, it’s pretty fun just as it is.

My inspiration for a little kid scarf having come so very early in the morning, I discussed it with Elise at a more reasonable hour. She decided she wanted a “big circle scarf like Mommy wears,” so I changed the design to an infinity scarf for kids (although if you would like to make a pom pom trim scarf for an adult, go for it but change the length to twice the length). I whipped this up before we went on a walk and it took about 20 minutes. For people more experienced with adding pom pom trim, this could go faster, but this was my first time working with it.

Supplies

  • 46.5 inches x 14.5 inches knit in raspberry or fuchsia – You can sew two pieces together to get the length (just sayin’ if someone has a raspberry pink t-shirt just lying around…). Note: you can turn this infinity scarf for kids into one for adults following the same instructions but you you will need to increase the length to about 70 inches and adjust the width as you’d like. Depending on your fabric, you might need a wider scarf to get the same coverage.
  • 1/2-Inch Pompom Ribbon – You could probably use black lace trim to give it an Anna-esque look, too.
  • sewing machine and supplies

Quick and Easy Step-By-Step

Start on the right end of the fabric – you will be working from right to left. Fold up 1.5 inches on a long edge (if you’re using .5 inch trim). If you are using a different size, multiply your size by 3 and fold it up by that.

Fold it down .5 inches and finger crease (I opened it back up for the photos, but you can see the crease). For those of you working with any trim of a different size, you will fold it down by the size of your trim. You will want to do this for the width of your trim. Some might think this step is not necessary – choose to live life on the crafting edge and wing it if you’d like.

Align the pom pom trim along the bottom of the fold. You want to have the pom poms dangling from the hem, but not too much. Fold the turned down edge (which is open in my photo below) to line up with the bottom, basically encasing the pom pom trim. When done pinning the trim, check the other side to make sure nothing slipped. I had a one inch section that had come completely out and needed to be adjusted before sewing it on.

Encasing the pom pom trim is what gives this a professionally finished look. Here’s what it should look like when you begin sewing.

Once the pom pom trim is attached, stitch another hem line at the edge of the trim (two rows of stitching on the hem). I only did one side with the pom pom trim because I didn’t have enough to do both, but I’m sure a little one sure would love all the pom poms if you added it to both sides.

Double hem the other side, mimicking the two lines of stitching on the hem.

Line up the edges (right sides together) and sew a simple seam, joining the two ends and effectively making a circle. Turn it right-side out and you’ve got yourself an Anna inspired infinity scarf! Of course, if you want to get all fancy, you could add a twist in the fabric or sew up a French seam to add a bit more of a polished look. Find your crafting bliss!

  1. OH MY WORD THIS IS TOO ADORABLE!!! I wish I knew how to sew :(
    Pinning, tweeting, g’ing… that’s not right because gangster… g+’ing? Whatever… SHARING EVERYWHERE :)
    XOXO

    1. Thank you so much – sewing is actually easy (if you have a machine – I dislike sewing anything by hand because I’m lazy). :) Thank you for sharing and “g-ing” totally made me think of Gangster!!!!

  2. Such a cute and stylish scarf! It is perfect for any little frozen fan, but doesn’t scream frozen like anything you’d buy in the store. You have an adorable model, too :)

  3. I’m totally in love with this! What a cutie! Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you being a part of our party, and I hope to see you on tonight at 7 pm. We love partying with you!
    Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls

    1. Thank you so much, Winnie. She has been wearing it quite a bit lately because of the cold winds that are visiting us from Canada right now. Elise has had so many people ask about her scarf – a grocery store trip with it is starting to mean that we’ll be talking about how to make it with other moms and caregivers! Who knew it would be so popular?

  4. The scarf is beautiful! The pom-poms help to make it even more special. Your little girl looks so happy to be wearing it!

  5. She is so cute and I love pom poms too :) Great tutorial on how to make your own infinity scarf for kids. You have to make it fun or the silly kids won’t wear it out in the cold!

  6. At 4:32am I would totally ignore my toddler until she magically falls asleep. :) You make this look so easy but I just know that mine would come out looking nothing like that. You did an amazing job and I am going to check out a few more of your frozen inspirations.

    1. Thanks so much, Amanda – we have quite a few fun FROZEN-inspired projects because we have a super fan in our midst! :)

  7. OMG! This is so cute. Too bad there is no one down here to try this out (as I do not know if nearly 3 year old Mariana Isabella – nieta de Luz y Jose – is into the whole Frozen thing in español. of course. – However, she always yells Hola Kathi Hola. So, at least she knows me).

    1. Haha – I’m pretty sure little Mariana Isabella isn’t in too dire need of an infinity scarf in Panama! :)

  8. See I knew you couldn’t boycott Frozen for long!!

    Darling, even the 4:32 am Frozen mash-up was cute, but I wasn’t there getting woken up, so maybe it wasn’t so cute :)

  9. 4:32 am?! Ouch.

    My youngest does that too – sings in her room in the morning (but not at 4:32 – thankfully)!

    Oh my goodness, is this ever adorable. I love the little pompoms too – so whimsical and fun.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Wishing you a lovely day.
    xoxo

    1. Thanks, Jennifer. I love her singing – it’s like a compilation of 100 songs sung in the spam of 6o seconds and it is entertaining. But you’re right – at 4 am, it’s just an ouch!
