Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape
  • A sewing machine or fray check glue

Materials

  • 2 yards of plaid flannel fabric approx. 42" wide

Instructions

  • Start by removing the selvage edge printed by the manufacturer.
  • Clean up the edges of any sides that were cut unevenly. Find a line using the plaid pattern that runs the entire length and cut along it.
  • Divide the fabric into 3 long sections. Since my fabric was 42" wide each of my scarves will be 14 inches wide. 
  • Serge or use an overcast stitch on your sewing machine to finish the long side edges.
  • Or, use something like fray check glue to keep it nice and neat without having to sew at all.
  • Finish the scarf by pulling off the threads on the short ends of the fabric to create a fringe. 

Notes

You can make the fringe as long or short as you like by continuing to pull threads from the edge.
If your fabric is 56" wide you can make 4 scarves or make 3 scarves at 18 inches wide.
