How to Fleece Scarf Tutorial: The Easy Way
Making your own fleece scarf is exciting and fun. You get to choose colors, patterns, and prints. You can even experiment with color combinations too!
Like knitting and crocheting, learning how to make a fleece scarf is a great pastime. You'll even benefit from it when winter comes around. So here's a double-sided fleece scarf tutorial just for you!
What You'll Need:
- rotary cutter mat
- rotary cutter
- 1 yard of fleece
- black thread
- ruler
- ballpoint pins
Steps on How to Make a Fleece Scarf:
- The first thing to do is to cut off the selvage part of the fleece. Many dressmakers and tailors consider the selvage unusable.
- Place the two pieces on top of each other with the right sides facing one another. If you don't have a cutting table, you can use any sturdy table.
- Now, it is time to cut your scarf. Cut a 13 by 60-inch piece out of the fleece. This is the ideal measurement for a scarf.
- Pin along both sides to prepare the fabric for sewing.
- You can now start sewing the fabric together using a zigzag stitch. Start 4 inches in and stop 4 inches before the end.
- Cut the fringes with the ruler and rotary cutter. The strips should measure 1 inch wide by 4 inches long. Fringing is not just a final aesthetic touch in your scarf, it is also a good way to secure the fabric.
- You're almost done with your double-sided fleece scarf. The next thing to do is to turn the scarf right side out.
- Start making the knots. Take the two sides of fringe and then loop it over in through the hoop. Once you have a knot, push it upwards to tighten it further.
Once all the knots are tied, you now have your double-sided fleece scarf!
Tips on How to Make a Fleece Scarf:
- If this is your first attempt at sewing, it is always best to pin the fabric down to ensure that you fasten it firmly.
- The right way to use the pin is to face the point toward the center of the cloth. The head should extend over the edge of the fabric.
- When sewing the fabric, make sure to remove the pin before the needle reaches it.

Great tutorial. An option is not tying the fringe but stitching a line about an inch or so from the edge of the fabric (before the cuts for the fringe) across the short end, after you turn the scarf right side out.
I don’t want a double sided scarf – its too bulky. How can I finish the edges of just one piece of fabric – nice plush fleece – and have it look nice.
do you have different decretive stitches on your sewing machine you can finishes the edge with a one of those or do a blanket stitch by machine or by hand if you have a serge machine use it to finish the edge or add a small contrasting color fabric edge the fabric should be the same type if you have a plush fabric add a plush solid fabric cut say 1 inch same length put right sides together, after you stitch the together the same as two sided, then do a quarter inch top stitch along the edge. the 2nd fabric will fold over the edge and create a finished look. hop this helps, its your scarf get creative
I think one step was missed-fold the fabric in half lengthwise!
I am not clear why I need a yard of fleece if I am cutting a 12 x 60 piece? What am I missing?
lets you fussy cut the best part, make a few, give gifts, or extra scarves can be given to homeless shelter, make mittens to match
13 x 2 cuts leaves room for mistakes or make a child size scarf or pet toy with leftovers – I like it
