Fleece is relatively inexpensive and is often on sale. I made these scarves from 1/8 yard of fleece, costing only $.60!!
The trick to cutting fleece is very sharp scissors and "long cuts" (opening your scissors all the way and making a long, clean cut). I measured each piece about 34" and cut points at each end.The easy way to cut points is to fold the fabric in half and cut to a point in one cut. Then take one of the triangles you cut off and use it as a measurement for the other end, so that your ends match perfectly.
I measured about 7" from the point and about 1" from each side and cut slits (brown strip helps you to see where the slits are located):
Patti those are adorable! fabolous job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteWAY cute. I never wear a scarf - - - the few times I tried, they drove me NUTS. Made my neck feel hot and heavy.
ReplyDeleteBut they are WAY cute on you!
Hey, that's a great idea! So clever! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I like that your version isn't long and bulky.
ReplyDeleteVery clever idea, I love it! Great price too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the details on how to make one, I'm going to try this.
Have a wonderful week.

Very nice, what a great inexpensive scarf.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous idea! I love the watertown yard stick!!! I use to spend my summers on the St. Lawrence River as a child. Good memories!
ReplyDeleteI would be honored to have you add it to my blog party

Wow, that is a lot faster than knitting them! And just as cute! I think I'm going to make something on this order for my son -- he loses scarves way to frequently for me to put the time in knitting them anymore. Very clever -- thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your kind, supportive words on my blog about my son . . . it meant a lot.
