Soft and Cuddly Scarflette
This Soft and Cuddly Scarflette from Anshu Jain is perfect for a little girl! You can sew a fleece scarf like this in no time, and it really looks cute with almost anything! Customize it to be any color scheme you'd like.
Materials:
- Fleece scrap
- Coordinating cotton knit
- Pattern
Instructions:
- Preparing the pattern: The best way to do this is to prepare a pattern beforehand on a newspaper, wrapping paper or any large piece of paper. Doing this small extra step will save you a lot of time later on.
- Cut a paper strip of 12.5 inches X 5 inches. Then mark on one 12.5-inch side 3 inches from a corner. Now join the other corner to this mark. Cut the rest of the triangle. This is your pattern. It might be helpful to cut a scrap piece of fabric with this pattern and wrap it around your neck to make sure it fits. It shouldn't be long enough to go around the neck twice; however, it should be long enough so you have about 2 inches on each side after wrapping it around the neck.
- Cut one piece each from fleece and knit from the pattern. Make sure you cut on fold.
- Lay both the fabrics on top of each other ( right sides together).
- Sew all around the edge, except a 2-inch opening to turn out.
- Snip corners.
- Turn inside out.
- Top-stitch closed, or use bunting applique.
- Cut three-four small triangles.
- Place them in a slant line going opposite to the slant in scarf. Sew slowly around the edges of each triangle.
- Put scarf on again and mark a place for button and button-hole.
- Sew the button on one side and button hole on the other. Make sure you sew the button onto fleece side.
