Satin Soft cotton Muslin Silk

To make a cravat that only wraps once around your neck, the fabric can be only 1. 6 yards (1. 5 meters). If you don’t have access to a sewing machine, you can hand stitch the cravat, meaning you’ll need a sewing needle instead.

To make a generic or one-size cravat, use eight or nine inches as your measurement.

Now, connect that rectangle to an elongated hexagon that’s 7 inches (17. 8 cm) wide,[6] X Research source and between 21 and 31 inches (53 to 78. 8 cm) long, depending on how long you want your cravat to be. Make sure the center of the original rectangle connects with the lengthwise center of the hexagon. When you are finished, cut out the pattern.

Pin the pattern in place, making sure to go through all four layers of fabric.

Use a one-quarter to one-half inch (0. 6 to 1. 3 cm) seam allowance.

Be sure to use the correct iron setting.

If you like, use a cravat pin to keep the top layer of fabric in place.
