We highly recommend using a serger. But, if you do not have one no worries! Just be sure to use a zigzag stitch. This stitch is best for stretchy knit fabric. It allows the stitch to stretch with the fabric.

-Place the panel on the fold of the first fabric. Keep in mind you can us the same fabric for both panels. We are using two different types to show the variations you can create.

-Trace around the pattern.

-Cut out. You should end up with one long rectangle after it is unfolded.

-Place the top panel on the fold of the second fabric.

-Trace around the pattern.

-Cut out. You should end up with one long rectangle after it is unfolded. The top is taller then the bottom panel so make this fabric selection wisely. This will be the majority of the gaiter.

-Keep the bottom panel folded and sew across the edge opposite of the fold.

-Sew with serger or zigzag stitch.

-Keep the top panel folded and sew across the edge opposite of the fold.
-Sew with serger or zigzag stitch.

-Keep the top panel inside out.

-Take the bottom panel flip it right side out.

-Place the bottom panel inside the top panel. The right sides should be together.

-Line up the two seams. This will help keep everything centered when sewing.

-Sew all the way around the circle.

-We recommend starting were the two seams meet.

-Go ahead and flip the piece right side out and you are done. It is that simple. You can make one for everyday of the week! :)

-Fold it, flip it, wear it how you want!
