Scarflettes are a Hot and Trendy Craft to Make and Sell (Pic!)

Published by neonola under Hot Craft Ideas Edit This

It’s nearing the end of summer, at least on the calendar. Time to think about winter stock, if you haven’t already begun. Here’s an idea to get your gears turning!

Scarflettes, or neck warmers, are super short scarves that button around the neck. They eliminate the need to wrap and tie long ends. There is also no annoying gap between scarf loops that lets cold air hit your neck! Though this trend got kicked off a season or two ago, it’s only going to pick up steam.

Scarflettes come in many styles ranging from super girly to practical. Some are Victorian inspired, while others make use of modern super fluffy novelty yarns and look like something out of an abstract painting. These can also be sewn in fleece, flannel, and wool fabrics.

Whether you sew, knit, or crochet, this hot craft idea is an easy, quick to make, low cost project. Pair these with a hat for a quick selling set! Scarflettes grew in popularity last season, so they’re a good bet to sell well this year, too.
