Eleven days til Christmas! We are getting down to the last minute. And that means last minute gifts! I have posted lots of gifts previously, but I think this year’s best gift is a Scarf.
It is COLD out there (at least where I am in sunny SoCal!) and everyone appreciates a scarf to keep them warm.
The SIMPLEST Scarf is just an 8″ slice from 54″ wide fleece. Remove the selvedges, please. Make it fancy by cutting 1″ fringe on the ends. A lovely gift in about ten minutes.
Or skip the fringe and make it warmer by adding an 8″ square on both ends as a pocket (Hem one edge of square, then match three remaining raw edges to scarf ends and stitch in place. No fringe on this one, unless it is for a child). a Pocketed Fleece Scarf is sure to keep hands toasty on long winter walks.
We have a few patterns for other lovely scarves perfect for giving…
The Ruffled Scarf Right on trend, this slouchy, funky scarf is simple to make (I used t-shirt knit, but try a silky fabric… or minkee too!) and fun to wear!
The T-Shirt Scarf Use any motif (Diamondback given) to personalize this scarf. Fusible Applique makes it easy and tames the stretch of the T-Shirt knit!
The Infinity Scarf Fun to make, Fun to give! Use Minkee for warmth or make it silky for style!
Carol’s Scarf Quick and nearly No-Sew, great under a coat or sweater!

Hi Lyn I really like all of the different scarves. Thanks for tell us how big to make the pocket. I was wondering how big it should be.
Hope you have a terrific holiday season.
