Fabric Requirements and Cutting Instructions

Fabric A - 2/3 yards each of two fleece patterns

Ten 11 1/2” squares for each of two fabrics

Backing- 1 1/3 yards

Getting Started

You will be making five rows of four blocks each, alternating Fabric A placements. Blocks and rows are joined wrong sides together. The seam allowances are then cut to make fringe.

Making the Throw

1. With wrong sides together, stitch two different Fabric A pieces together using a 3/4”-wide seam. Make 10.
2. With wrong sides together, sew two units from step 1 together to make one row, alternating Fabric A pieces. Make 5.
3. With wrong sides together, sew rows together, turning units from step 2 as needed to have blocks alternate from row to row.

Layering and Finishing

1. Layer Throw and Backing wrong sides together. Pin in place. At block intersections, tack through all layers to hold top and backing together. Stitch outside edges using 3/4”-wide seam.
2. With sharp scissors, clip all seam allowances approximately every 1/2” stopping just short of sewn seam to make fringed blocks.

Fabulous Fleece Scarf

Create fast fleece scarves for all your friends with this simple technique.

Fleece is generally about 60"-wide which is a good length for a scarf.

Our fleece has stripes so it was easy to use stripes as our guide for cutting the scarf. If you select a fleece with an all-over pattern, cut your scarf 8"-9" wide.

Fleece does not ravel so no sewing is needed.

Cut 1/2"-wide fringe on both ends of the scarf.

If desired, tie a knot at each end for a stylish look.
