How to Make a Stylish Neck Gaiter

I have been wanting to create these cute neck gaiters for a long time. My inspiration were these Buffs from Sahalie called Winterized Bandanas. I thought I could make them much cheaper than the $28.50 they are charging. I wanted to use up my leftover fleece from the monster hats that I make. I found the stretchy polyester, at Joann for $3.00 a yard. The fabric is not the easiest to sew, but I’m proud of how well they turned out.

Step 1 Gather Materials

Materials:

Polyester fleece or better yet, Bamboo fleece

Polyester stretchy patterned fabric (I found some $3.00 per yard stuff at Joann. It’s a

little difficult to sew, so I would recommend a better quality polyester.) I have not

been able to find patterned bamboo fleece.

Thread- I used cotton all-purpose, but polyester would probably be better.

Sewing Machine

A walking foot and a slight zigzag stitch when sewing the patterned fabric OR a knit stitch.

A nice sharp needle in your machine, especially for the double thickness version. Use a 1/2" seam allowance.
