Description
Freebie!
This Sailor Gaiter is a super quick and easy neck gaiter that can be used for so many things. The short and tall lengths, plus ear loop options give everyone you’re sewing for an option they prefer. You can wear your Sailor Gaiter around your neck, like a headband, a face covering, the tall option can twist into a beanie, and you can even use the short option as a quick scrunchie. You will need high stretch fabric with at least 50% stretch horizontally and vertically. Cotton spandex and athlethic knits were our favorites.
You will recieve a US Letter Paper File, A4 Paper File, and a Projector File in this download. Open the downloaded PDF in a PDF reader. For reliable access to size layers, use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader desktop app; layer support varies in other PDF viewers.
