Last year I made some fleece hats the added a scarf to a couple of the hats. I cut a 9 inch width,then cut about 4 inch fringe on either end. Looks cute, with almost no work

I've made a poncho type short cape out of fleece by cutting a shawl-width piece long enough to go around and then stitching the inner edge for about 12"...quick, easy, cozy and leaves your hands free to do whatever you need to be doing instead of holding the shawl in place.

If you have the ruler with the 1/2" cuts in it it makes it easy to do with a rotary cutter. HOWEVER, only cut one end at a time---trying to cut through two layers is almost impossible and very frustrating. You can also pull on the fringes--stretch them out as far as they'll go and they'll curl up making a more frilly/girly look to the scarves.

Thanks for the tip on putting on fringe, so much easier than sewing it....and looks better. And of course while I was there found more fleeze on clearance. 1/2 yard for $1.50 with a really neat pattern. Will be making christmas presents...
