Tassels and stripes that survive the blade

A scarf is a long band with a fringe, and the fringe is where cut files usually fail: threads drawn as hairlines tear the moment you weed them. Here every tassel is a rounded bar about 2 mm wide at 100 mm, welded into the end of the scarf, and there are five to an end, or seven on the supporter’s scarf. Stripes are open bands about 3.5 mm tall that stop short of both edges, so the cloth on either side of a stripe stays joined.

Where one part of a scarf lies over another, a slim line is cut round the upper part and stops before the edge. That is what makes the looped and wrapped scarves read as cloth folded over itself and not as a flat blob, and it is why they still lift in one piece. In iron-on, press these with firm, even pressure and peel the carrier along the scarf and not across the tassels.

Dressing something else in a scarf

The snowman’s scarf, the neck scarf with a knot and the bandana are drawn to be laid over another shape. Size the curved band to the neck of a snowman, a penguin, a dog or a letter, and let the ends hang over it. The supporter’s scarf has a clear middle about 50 mm wide when the whole scarf is 100 mm across, which takes a short name in bold lettering.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
