Super Simple Scarf

Super Simple Scarf
Pin It

This might be one of the easiest sewing projects on the face of the earth. The beauty of it? They keep you equally warm as the $30 scarves. My dad enlisted me to make these because our entire family is HUGE sports fans. What a great gift! Choose any fleece fabric you like, but I'm an Oregon State University alumni and I love my Beavs!!

What you'll need:
1/4 yard fleece
Sewing machine
Black thread (or corresponding thread, depending on your fabric choice)
Scissors

Directions:
1. Your fleece probably came folded in half off a bolt. Well unfold that and fold it in half the long way (like a hot dog, not a hamburger, if anyone remembers that from elementary school) with the good side of the pattern on the inside

2. Place the fabric under the foot of your sewing machine about 3 inches from the end. I like to do a 1/4 inch hem, but do what ever you're comfortable with! A smaller hem will mean a wider scarf.

3. Run a backstitch, then run a hem all the way down to about 3 inches from the other end. Finish with another backstitch.

4. Now turn your fleece sleeve inside out -- or right side in, rather. (I also folded mine in half here so it wasn't so long.)

 5. Cut slits on each end through both pieces of fabric about 3 inches up. (Up to where you stopped your hem.)

6. Now tie the slits, knotting a piece from each the top and bottom layer of fabric.

7. Presto Magnifico! A warm scarf sporting the best university! (Or what ever other fabric you chose!) Definitely wearing this all winter and to Beaver baseball games!!
