We're sharing our favorite techniques, including knitting and tie-dyeing, for creating one-of-a-kind scarves.

Chic and fashionable, this scarf doesn't take very long to make, so you can knit several to go with everything in your wardrobe.

Inspired by a traditional Japanese textile, this versatile accessory is just a length of fabric and a bottle of dye away.

With snowy-white patches melting into a yellow background, this scarf borrows its look from ombre, the fabric-dyeing technique that creates subtle, graduated shifts in color.

This one-of-a-kind silk scarf is the perfect gift for any fashionista.

Here's a cozy yet speedy project: Cut 12 pieces of bulky-weight yarn to about 1 1/2 times the desired length of the final scarf. (We used 140-inch pieces to make an 86-inch scarf.) Divide yarn into 4 bunches of 3 strands each. Tie 2 bunches together with a square knot, leaving 6 inches of fringe at end; repeat with remaining bunches. Pin the knots to a piece of foam board. Knot inner 2 bunches of yarn together, spacing knot about 1 inch from existing knots, then knot left and right bunches together. Alternate knotting the inner bunches and the left and right ones, spacing knots evenly apart, until about 6 inches of yarn remain on the end. Finish so that final knots mirror opposite end, and trim to even the ends.

This scarf is made from two of the simplest stitches in knitting, but the end look is anything but basic.

A muffler with sewn-up compartments offers all kinds of possibilities. Objects can be stockpiled, cleverly hidden, or simply toted along (like the toy dog here, who's getting a very warm ride).

It wouldn't be a spin to describe this craft as ridiculously easy, although in some ways that's exactly what you do with a Knitwit: Spin (well, wrap) thread around a circular or square-shaped tool to create loopy rosettes. Rendered with luxurious yarns such as mohair, these florets look decidedly modern.

Knitted scarves are the perfect handmade gift: They're easy to make and one size fits all, and small imperfections give them charm. Plus, you can choose needle and yarn sizes to match the amount of time you can invest. Here, we offer six variations on a classic knitted scarf.

In hues of blue, gray, and cream, these scarves evoke the look of men's suiting. The stripes are created with pieces of yarn needle-felted along the length or width of the scarves.

A homemade scarf makes a lovely present -- especially if the giver doesn't have to spend weeks knitting it. 

Start with a length of woven wool that measures 18 inches by 48 inches. Using fabric scissors, trim off the selvage. Remove individual threads from the edges by carefully pulling them down the length or width until you have a 1 1/2-inch border all around.

This simple cowl is both fast to make and super fashionable, and can be worn from fall all the way through winter.

Adorn a store-bought scarf with bells before wrapping to give it as a gift. Here, we sewed small bells onto a scarf, which, when paired with a matching hat and mittens, fairly begs to go ice-skating.

In the mid-19th century, paisley scarves were popular accessories for well-dressed women, and they have never lost their appeal. Here, Martha shows how to make a chic short version using paisley silk and cashmere.

Shibori, meaning "to wring, to squeeze and to press," is the ancient Japanese art of shaping cloth to create patterns and textures. We used it to make these lovely scarves.
