How to Make a Fleece Scarf with Fringes
Have fun with the color combinations, too! Use fun fall and winter colors… or use a combination of your favorite team’s colors, for cheering on your local high school or college team!
Thank you to frugal friends Stephanie, Laurie, Katie, Amanda, and Lynn for sharing the ideas behind this pattern for How to Make a Fleece Scarf with Fringes on The Frugal Girls Facebook page!
What You’ll Need:
- 3 Pieces of Fleece: 5″ wide by 60″ long. {if making a scarf for a child, cut the fleece to approx. 36″ – 48″ long}
- Scissors
- Sewing Machine
Use coordinating colors ~ I used 2 solids and 1 pattern.
What You’ll Do:
Once you have cut your 3 pieces of fleece, stack the three pieces on top of each other, like this…
Stitch up the middle using a sewing machine {you could also hand sew this, but a sewing machine will make the project so much easier and faster}.
Now, being that I don’t actually own a sewing machine, I took my fleece on over to my local dry cleaners, and their sweet seamstress stitched up the middle of my scarf for just a few dollars. 😉
Now, it’s time to cut the fringes toward the middle stitch on each side, leaving 1″ in the middle.
Be careful and make sure you don’t cut over the stitch!
My fringes were about 3/4″ wide. {you could also make your fringes a bit more narrow if you want it to be fluffier} 😉
There you go ~ that’s How to Make a Fleece Scarf with Fringes! How simple is that?!?
Thats How to Make a Fleece Scarf with Fringes! These will keep you cozy warm this fall and winter. Make one for yourself, and give one as a gift!

January 25, 2011 at 1:25 pmI have been looking for a simple craft idea for our church as a fund raiser for the 2011 Relay for Life in June This is one will be presented to our outreach ministry. In my mind I can see the color scheme in pinks fushia and white already. Thanks for this idea !
Christi Wilson says
January 17, 2011 at 11:01 amLOVE this idea!! I usually make my winter scarves using a knitting loom. But this looks so much more FUN!!!! And EASY!!

December 13, 2010 at 1:56 pmToday we had our Christmas party at work and we all give each other a little gift. I made this scarf for the girls I work with and they absolutely loved them.
Thank you for the wonderful tip. Merry xmas!!
Marisol says
November 29, 2010 at 10:00 amI have a sewing machine but am horrible at sewing! LOL… But I’m willing to try this project, seems fairly easy 😉 Have any of you tried to make a fleece hat? I want to make some for the kids but can’t seem to find one with pictures. I need pictures in order to “get it” lol…
Chris Staats says
November 12, 2010 at 9:48 amI thought this was such a cute idea that I’m going to take the same basic concept and make a couple of baby blankets for my first nephew. I will post pics when I’m done 🙂
Sheri says
December 14, 2011 at 6:57 pmHello! I did this with fleece for a baby blanket, it came out so awesome! And the fleece doesn’t fray so it’s safe for baby. (Other matierals are a chocking hazard once they fray). (( Toughest part is the fleece is super thick at points… )) Good luck!
Heidi says
November 10, 2010 at 1:15 pmHi Jennifer ~ yes… the strips of fleece are just 5″ wide. 😉
~ Heidi
Donna Gates says
November 10, 2010 at 1:09 pmMake sure its a fleece material for the woman who asked cause if you don’t other material sheds bad so always go with fleece.
Jennifer Willis says
November 9, 2010 at 8:50 amI have a question….are the pieces really only suppose to the 5″ wide? This seems a bit thin to me, and your pieces look wider than 5″.
Andrea says
January 15, 2012 at 7:53 amGreat instructional!
I make & sell these on a regular basis (as well as blankets, hats, pillows, pet toys, etc.) out of fleece. 5″ is “do-able,” but for adults, I would recommend 6-8 inches. It gives a little bit more coverage and, in turn, more warmth. 🙂
Heather Ozee says
November 8, 2010 at 9:15 amThis is great! I’m making these as Christmas gifts!
JAMIE says
November 1, 2010 at 10:57 amYou could use 2 colors and no sew method! Lay on top same way/ cut same way/ then tie them like the no sew fleece blanket kits!
Michelle Baker says
October 9, 2010 at 10:40 pmWe purchased fleece in our school colors – made these with two layers of fleece and sold them as a fundraiser for the marching band! Great profit margin if you can get the fleece on sale!
Serena says
October 5, 2010 at 7:07 pmI have made these before….I made them for kids with rubber duckies and coordinating material….it is easy to make them out of scrap fleece as well. Even if you don’t have sewing machine you can make them with a hand stitch.
Tina D. says
October 5, 2010 at 4:14 pmWe make these @ church. Also something for you ladies to try is to Use pinking shears it gives them a totally cute look and the little girls love them soooo much.
Britt says
October 5, 2010 at 2:07 pmLove it sooo cute. I will be making some of these tomorrow..
Sharon in Cali says
October 5, 2010 at 12:11 pmSuper cute 🙂 Quick and easy, just how I like it! Thanks ladies!
Shauna says
October 5, 2010 at 11:54 amI have done this as a project for young girls ages 8 and 9. I put a piece of wide masking tape over the stitching to make sure they didn’t cut through it. Works great and they love to give them to their friends for gifts!
Gahome2mom says
October 5, 2010 at 11:54 amBravo! What a fun project! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Jessie says
October 5, 2010 at 11:00 amawesome~! I will be making these for christmas gifts as well….. do you think there are other types of fabric that could be used, or does it have to be fleece?
Marisa Fedelin- Lopez says
October 5, 2010 at 10:34 amI am sooo doing this for my girls!!!!! Thank you!!!!
kelli says
October 5, 2010 at 10:18 amyou could skip the sewing all together-if you don’t have a machine or a lovely seamstress and just tie the fringes in knots. I have made plenty of blankets that way and it looks like it would work for this also.
Debbie says
February 16, 2014 at 8:31 pmI was thinking the same thing
Kelly N. says
October 5, 2010 at 10:09 amWow that is really nice!! Thanks for sharing!
