Cut It Up:
Cut the trunk of the t-shirt horizontally, making 11 to 16 strips (depending on the size shirt), each about one inch wide.
(NOTE: Don’t worry too much about cutting straight lines as long as the strips are about even with one another.)

Toss It:
Discard the bottom hem and upper portion of the shirt.
Stretch It Out:
Stretch each of the strips taught, attempting to make them roughly the same length, and set aside two.
Double Time:
Collect the remaining pieces and double them onto themselves.
Snip, Snip:
Cut one of the held-back pieces so that it is no longer a loop.
Knot It:
Use the cut piece to tie a firm knot around the body of the scarf.
Get Loopy:
Begin to loop the tie around a 3 to 4 inch section of the scarf, covering the knot itself, and tie off the end in another knot.
Re-peat-peat:
Repeat the tying process (steps 5 through 7) on the opposite side of the body of the scarf using the second held-back piece.
Touch It Up:
Use your scissors to tuck the exposed knots under the tied sections.
Final Thoughts:
Enjoy your new scarf!
