I had carpel tunnel release surgery on my left hand this week (I did the right hand a month ago), and its healing well but I have to keep it bandaged up for a week. A polar vortex is forecasted here for the coming week and I was concerned about not being able to fit a glove over my left hand. I thought about sewing a large mitten, but I saw the free pattern from Sinclair for a Mojo scarf with pockets<\/a>, I decided to give it a try. I do, after all, like to put pockets on everything. The pattern comes in Sinclair’s full range of sizes, in a narrow and wide width, and with the option of adding a hood, ears, and cape. I went with my usual size 4p, narrow width, and hood. I decided I didn’t need a cape and ears, although those could be fun too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used leftover Polartec sweatshirt fleece from a sweatshirt I made recently<\/a>, and sewed it with the fuzzy side out. The fabric is about 70 inches wide so I cut the length of the scarf as one piece and chopped off some of the end for a pocket. This resulted in a scarf that was slightly too short, so when I realized that I added three inches on to each end. You can see the extra seam near the bottom of the back of each pocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was pretty straightforward to sew, but took longer than I expected. I guess it is just a lot of fleece and layers to sew as everything is double-layered, which makes it warm and reversible with a nice clean finish. I sewed almost all of it on my serger (except for some basting, topstitching and closing the seam in the back after I turned it right-side out), and was glad to have a machine that could easily sew through so many layers of plush fleece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
