Necktube tutorial

I had this knit tank top around from forever. I liked its bright colours and fitted wear, that’s why I bougth it for a bargain on a vintage market stand. But eventually I got to really wear it only once or twice. So, back in November, I decided to recycle/upcycle it. You too can do something similar more faster than writing the how to in a blog post, for sure!

Basically, I just cut off the upper part of the tube top and put it away. I liked the stripes, while I didn’t want to have much yellow against my face. I wanted the tube to be quite long, so I could double it and wear the neckwarmer in different ways. So, i cut away the upper part and simply stitched it with my sewing machine, and it got lightly curled up. Done! It’s simple as that. And you can wear it with the curly side down like in the first pic, or like a gorget (?) like this:

You can also double it twice and go all black, for a more subtle look.

This project is best with any knit tops you may have, because they’re usually stretchy. Mine was 100% acrylic so it’s also practical to wash, but it works with any fiber. You can also try with stretch jersey, indeed let me know if you do!
That’s all folks! Hope you like it.
