Prereqs:
A cashmere sweater for upcycling ( I used a purple jumper, presumably from a purple Kashmiri GOAT).
A silk dress for upcycling ( I used a sleeveless dress, about an inch below the knee length).
Needle, thread & iron.
Step 1.
Lay the sweater flat, cut the sweater across the chest in a straight line, just below the armholes. Take the bottom piece and cut open either the right or left side, whatever your preference, and iron flat (The remaining piece, use as a shrug).
Step 2.
Lay the dress flat, pin the sweater piece lengthwise along the front of the dress and cut an equally wide & long length of the dress (add an inch on each side for a seam allowance). Iron silk remnant flat.
Step 3.
Pin the two fabrics together good sides in, sew the edges together, leave about 4 inches at the bottom open. Iron flat. Turn inside out by hand. Finish by handstiching the remaining 4 inches.
Enjoy your GOAT scarf :)
