What You’ll Need to Make a Fleece Scarf

- 3 Pieces of Fleece: 5″ wide by 60″ long. (if making a scarf for a child, cut the fleece to approx. 36″ – 48″ long)

Use coordinating colors ~ I used 2 solids and 1 pattern.

How to Make a Fleece Scarf
Here’s what you’ll do…
1. Once you have cut your 3 pieces of fleece, stack the three pieces on top of each other.
2. 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.
Or if you don’t have a sewing machine, just take your fleece over to your local dry cleaners, and ask if they will stitch it for you for a few dollars.
3. 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.

I have been having so much fun with fleece… i havent gotten to ever wear to much of it i lived in Key west for years and years.. but now back in Oklahoma… Itis so toasty… I wanna nakes some scarves, but i started out with a blanket, then did O,U. pillows, the i went on a yard sale site through facebook and found a glider rocker… came home washed the cushions, and went and bought fleece and did the tie thing around the cushions and it turned out cute as a bugs ear… all in O.U. colors… we are big O.U. fans so now our house relfects the decor!

Rose says
I 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
LOVE this idea!! I usually make my winter scarves using a knitting loom. But this looks so much more FUN!!!! And EASY!!
carrie Moore says

Jennifer says
Today 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
I 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
I 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
Hello! 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
Hi Jennifer ~ yes… the strips of fleece are just 5″ wide. 😉
~ Heidi
Donna Gates says
Make 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
I 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
Great 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
This is great! I’m making these as Christmas gifts!
JAMIE says
You 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
We 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
I 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
We 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
Love it sooo cute. I will be making some of these tomorrow..
Sharon in Cali says
Super cute 🙂 Quick and easy, just how I like it! Thanks ladies!
Shauna says
I 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
Bravo! What a fun project! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Jessie says
awesome~! 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
I am sooo doing this for my girls!!!!! Thank you!!!!
kelli says
you 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
I was thinking the same thing
Kelly N. says
Wow that is really nice!! Thanks for sharing!
Missy_in_WV says
Thanks so much for sharing! I see my friends getting these for Christmas gifts this year!!
Beth says
