Perfect for beginners, creating a tartan scarf or shawl is a simple yet rewarding project. Start by choosing a tartan plaid that complements your wardrobe. Then, measure and cut the fabric to your desired length and width (typically around 60 inches long and 10 inches wide for a scarf). Hem the edges to prevent fraying, and for an added touch, consider adding fringe by unraveling the fabric at the ends.
