Pom-Pom Scarf

Abstract

An adjustable scarf having two or more layers of fringed fabric enclosing a drawstring running lengthwise from end to end. The drawstring protrudes from the scarf near the scarf's midpoint and at the ends. By pulling the drawstring at the scarf's midpoint and locking the drawstring with the provided cord lock, the scarf is readily converted to a pom-pom for use at sporting events and the like.

 a plurality of layers of fabric, substantially rectangular in shape, each layer having strips cut into its edges;   a drawstring casing seam connecting the layers of fabric to each other;   a drawstring, having a first end and a second end, substantially inside the drawstring casing seam, said ends of said drawstring being attached to first and second cord stops for retaining said drawstring inside said drawstring casing seam;   a portion of said drawstring protruding through a hole in said drawstring casing seam;   a third cord stop attached to said portion of said drawstring; and   a cord lock coupled to said portion of said drawstring between said hole and said third cord stop.   
   
   
       2 ) The scarf of  claim 1  wherein a plurality of holes are distributed substantially evenly along the length of the drawstring casing seam and wherein a portion of the drawstring protrudes through each of said holes and wherein to each protruding portion of said drawstring a cord stop and cord lock is attached. 
   
   
       3 ) The scarf of  claim 1  wherein said cord lock comprises a spring-loaded reel for containing the drawstring when the drawstring is pulled to convert the scarf to a pom-pom configuration.
