Before discarding t-shirts you no longer wear, consider making a lightweight scarf out of them. This scarf is light enough to wear year-round and would make a great, inexpensive Christmas gift for that hard-to-buy-for teen on your list!
Approximate Time: less than 1 hour
Note: If you don't have a rotary cutter and mat for this project, you could use scissors and a ruler to cut out your squares, but it goes quicker using the cutter and mat.

A barbwire t-shirt scarf its knitted from t-shirts, I but can't find out how many stitches I need to knit the scarf. Does anyone have the pattern? I was not able to post a photo. But it can be found on-line under images.google.com. Type in barbwire t-shirt scarf.
