So blanket scarves are all over this fall and I have bought two of them.

Mine aren’t the big square ones but they are about twice as wide as a normal scarf. Because of the width they were just too much and I felt like I was choking when I was wearing them.

So, with encouragement from fellow instagrammer @emptyneststyle, I decided cut mine in half…😳  Luckily the plaid had a stripe right down the middle so it was easy to cut straight down the center of the scarf.

After I had the scarf cut in half

I did a quick run through the sewing machine to keep it from fraying on the cut edge.

Now I have one for myself and one to give my daughter!
