You know how much we love a fresh twist on a tradition. This easy no-sew scarf uses shibori, a Japanese tie-dye technique dating right back to the eighth century. As sources of dye were limited back then, an indigo colour was often used. There are lots of versions of shibori, and this scarfs grid design is created using the dye-resist itajime technique, where pieces of wood are used as well as elastic bands.

If that makes you nervous then its a great project to work on outdoors during sunny days, and could even be taken on the road for a crafty camping trip. This project was created by Amy for Mollie Makes magazine - for more easy-make ...
