Printing Your PatternSettings
The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.
Print at 100%
On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.
Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.
Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.
Also, please note that some Rebecca Page patterns and projects also come with cut files and a printable design page which you can use to plan your project if you wish. These are provided in a separate section below to avoid any confusion!

4.5Stitch again approximately ¼ inch from the edge.
This will encase the raw edges, so they are not seen (a French seam).
4.6Turn right side out and press as flat as possible. Make sure that the seam line is at the exact center of the fold.
5 . Finishing the Scarf Edges5.1Fold the top edge over to the wrong side by ¼ inch. Press.
TIP – Trim off any frayed edges before folding the top edge over.
Fold another ¼ inch towards the wrong side. Pin.
Press.
5.3Repeat steps 5.1 to 5.2 for the bottom edge.
INFINITY SCARF OPTION: Skip to step 6.
WRAPAROUND SCARF OPTION: Repeat steps 5.1 to 5.2 for the short raw edges.
6 . Mask Assembly6.1Place the Side Facings onto the Main Mask right sides together, matching bottom edges.
TIP – Check that your elastic/ ties are up and out of the way.
TIP – Be sure that the Side Facings and Main Mask are facing the same direction. The pointed edge is the top and the curved edge is the bottom.
6.3Pin the elastic to the Side Facing, away from the top edge, so it won’t get caught in the seam as you are stitching.
6.4Fold the Scarf in half marking the center front with a pin.
NOTE – For the Infinity Scarf OPTION, the center front is opposite to the seam from step 3.
6.5Lay the Scarf down wrong side facing up. Flip the Side Facings out the way. Place the Main Mask right side down onto the wrong side of the Scarf, matching centers. Pin the top edge. As you get close to the edge you will need to curve the Scarf away from the Main Mask top edge.
6.6Turn the Scarf so right sides are facing up. Place the Mask Lining right sides together, matching center seams with the Main Mask. Pin along the top edge.
NOTE – Check you are placing the Mask Lining the correct way. The top edge is pointier, and the bottom is flatter. Match the top and bottom edges. The center seams should be facing opposite directions.
6.7Push the Scarf up to the center in between the Main Mask and Mask Lining. Flip the Side Facings over to the side of the Mask Lining. Pin along the top edge.
6.9Clip all corners to reduce bulk.
6.10Turn the Mask right side out through the gap. Remove any pins. Press the seams.
TIP – Push out the corners with a blunt object, like a chopstick, so that there are crisp, sharp edges and corners.
Press the seam allowance up.
7 . Finishing Mask7.1Fold the bottom edge of the Mask Lining to the wrong side by ½ inch. Press.
7.2Place the Mask Lining over Main Mask wrong sides together, matching center seams and hems. Pin along the gap.
7.4OPTIONAL: Pin the Mask to the Scarf along the top edge.
Topstitch across the top of the Main Mask using a ⅛ inch seam allowance.
