Several has wondered about neck scarves, this is the easy method.
Fleece can be any width you desire, I use about 13-18 inches.

Cut the fleece from selvage to selvage. Now fold fleece in half selvage ends together. Cut on fold line. Now you have 2 scarves, selvage on one end and cut edge other end. Trim selvage, then sew 2 ends together. I use a French seam. If it looks like a big tube you have completed the scarf.

Pull over your head and keep warm. These are wide enough to tuck around neck, pull up over your ears and head or cover face, cowboy style.
Hope this helps keep everyone warm. Let me know if you have questions.

I look for pieces of fleece all year long. You can find fleece on clearance table or during the off season.

These scarves are quick and easy.


Merry Christmas

can you post a picture of those? I am not picturing the tube in my mind

I've made them where instead of cutting them in half, I use the entire WOF to make the tube. It allows you to wrap once to keep the neck warm and once to use as a cap/scarf of sorts up over your head/ears.

Good idea.Can you post a picture pab

Do you have to do anything with the long cut edges?

Neat! I'd like to see a picture too!

I would love to see a picture of these!

I'd love to have pictures as well :D

Pics, please--see what happens when you describe things to people who need the visual????

Sounds beautiful. Picture please? Thanks! :)

Thanks!

I will try to send pictures in the morning. I am a visual person also.
Nothing has to be done on the cut edges. Fleesce does not ravel.

I made 9 of them yesterday, they are so easy. I do hem the long edges after I sew the ends together, with a stretch stitch but you don't have to, just my boys say it stays over their nose better.

We could sure use one of those this morning in Florida...it's cold out there!

I think I just found my Christmas presents for my nieces and nephews. Thanks just waiting for a pic.

sounds cool - picture would be great

I've made several of these. They're great! I do fringe the ends though

me too

I made these in blaze orange fleece for my hunters this fall. They loved them.

With fleece scarves I have, for my very young GDs cut a slit in the scarf on one side in center then the scarf may be pulled through. This eliminates bulk for small children and really works.

Add my name to request for photos

pix please

Hope these help. I use a piece of fleece 11 inches by 19 inches and the 19 has to be on the stretch, when you pull on the fleece it will stretch more one way than the other.

fold in half and stitch the end together.

turn right side out and it is finished. You can ether leave the edges alone, wavy cut them, or hem them, I found if I hem them they like them better but be sure to use a stitch that will stretch.

Again Hope this helps.

Yesterday at Joanne's a lady choose school colored fleece and had the clerk cut them for her - most unusual esp. with the line waiting. They were to be gifts for cheerleaders. All she was going to do was trim selvage from both edges and make 6 inch cuts along both edges to fringe. Simple quick and at 50% off, very affordable for the whole swuad. I think she had the scarves cut in 9 inch pieces and WOF.

We were at a little bar and gril for an early supper on Fr. night and a lady brought in a bunch of fleece neck scarves she had sewn. She had them wrapped around a snow ski and carried the entire ski full of them in with her. She sold 6 or 7 of them in about 5 minutes. She made them with an opening to pull one end through and then had a pin/clip on the outside for a decoration. They were a hit. I was impressed with her display "rack."

I did this last year for my girls squad. I made 10 of them for less than $20 and the kids still use them and love them.

I am considering making them again in our new team colors.

One thing I learned was to use one of those fleece rulers to get exact 1" cuts.

pictures of scarf with slit please...this one doesn't require sewing right.

The ones I made with the slits had two colors one on front and one on back and I sewed 1 seam down the middle of them to hold them together.

The ones on the ski "rack" that I saw were like a tube with an opening on one of the sides to pull the other side through it.. You could then adjust it to fit your neck or how loose you wanted it to be. These were NoT WOF. They were more like a fluffy collar to be tucked inside your coat or to be worn outside your coat over the collar. I did not buy one as I do not like stuff around my short, chubby neck.(Gold necklaces are an exception.)

great idea

The maker/sales gal was doing a booming business at the restaurant... I am sure she was pleased.. she had animal prints/ and plain fabrics//she used fleece and fun -fur type fabrics...they looked nice but not for me....

Would you mind posting a photo of a finished one? I am getting lost somewhere here. Thanks.

This sounds like a good project for gifts but I would love to see the finished product. Please

how much was she charging for each scarf?

She was asking $16.00 and people were amazed at the low price...

Interesting, thanks

Hmmmm sounds like an interesting gift idea.

Check out Debbie Colgrove at About.com. She has lots of ideas. This scarf was one.

Thanks for the tute!!!

Please post a picture. I would love to see.
