Fleece Scarf

Want to make a cute, simple, and cheap scarf?

First buy some fleece. I made this for my one year old so I only bought 1/8th of a yard of each color. If you want your scarf to be wider, I'd get up to a 1/4 yard. I made it in stripes of 2 colors, but you can do as many as you'd like.

Cut your fleece into pieces about a 1/2 inch to an inch bigger than you want your stripe to be. If you want to make sure you use all the fabric, just keep folding your long piece of fleece over on itself until it's about the size of the stripe you want and cut along all the folds. (that's what I did so I didn't waste any fabric at the end).
Next, sew one piece of each color together with 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch seam, (if you want your fringe longer, move your seam in further, just remember this will make your stripe smaller).

Now you'll want to alternate so that the excess fabric is on top at every other seam. A good way to do this if you're doing stripes, is to always make sure the same color you started with on top, is always on top when you make the seam.

See how this will make the fringe alternate sides?
Continue sewing all your pieces together until you have the scarf the length you want.
When you sew the pieces together they will probably not all line up in a perfect line, unless you're magical, so just trim off a tiny bit down the length on both sides and this will get you a nice straight line.

Now make the fringe by cutting small, parallel lines into the 1/4 inch sections of excess fleece. Don't cut all the way to the seam.
And you're done!
If you want to cut some fringe on the very ends of the scarf as well, you can. Fleece wont fray, so you're OK! :)
TA DA!
