INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: MAKE CAP

Sew the 1.5” x 8.5” dark, medium and light green strips into a block as shown. Sew the sixteen 1” x 2” rectangles into a strip as shown. This strip should be 8.5” long. Sew the pieced dark green strip to the light green edge of the pieced block.
Place a 3.5” white square on the upper right corner of the striped piece, draw a diagonal line as shown, sew on that line, then trim to a quarter-inch from the seam and press open.
Repeat on the upper left corner.
Sew a 1.5” x 8” white strip to the right and left sides of the cap section. Sew the 1.5” white square to the 1” x 1.5” light green rectangle. Sew the 2” x 5” white strips to the sides of this piece. Sew this strip to the top of the cap section.Sew the 1.5” x 10.5” white strip to the bottom of the cap section.

Step 2: MAKE SCARF

The scarf is made from the 1.5” x 3.5” strips. Sew one segment with 10 strips, alternating the dark, medium and light greens as shown. This strip has four dark, three medium and three light green strips. This segment should be 10.5” long. Sew it to the right side of the cap section.
Sew one segment with 13 strips, alternating the dark, medium and light greens as shown. This strip has four dark, five medium and four light green strips.
This segment should be 13.5” long. Sew it to the top edge of the cap section.
Sew another segment with 13 strips, alternating the dark, medium and light greens as shown. This strip has four dark, four medium and five light green strips.
This segment should also be 13.5” long. Sew it to the left side of the cap section.

Sew two segments with 6 strips in each, alternating the dark, medium and light greens as shown.
The fringe is made by sewing the 1” x 1.5” light green pieces into two strips of six pieces. This segment should be 3.5” long. Sew one to the end of each of the strips.
Sew the 1.5” x 3.5” white strip between the two fringe strips as shown.
Sew the strip you just made to the bottom edge of the cap section.

Step 3: ASSEMBLE THE BLOCK

At this point, your block should measure 16.5” x 16.5” square. Odds are, it’s close, but we’re all human, and that’s a lot of 1/4” seams to get exactly right. As long as it lays flat, you’re good.

The white border strips allow us to correct for size.
Measure the height of your block, and trim two of the 2.5” x 21” white strips to this length. Sew to the sides of the block.

Sew the two remaining white strips to the top and bottom edges.

Trim your block to 18.5” x 18.5”.
