Easy No Sew Fleece Scarves
Making a fleece scarf is incredibly easy, whether for a gift, yourself, or as a service project. Even older children can help, or make them alone.
These economical and useful scarves are easily adapted for men, women, boys, and girls, simply by the pattern or color of the fleece, using beads, how the ends are tied or left straight – the sky is the limit.
Personalize this gift by matching the personality of who is going to wear this; making it a desired and much-appreciated gift.
Supplies for Fleece Scarf:
At least ¼ yard fleece of desired thickness and pattern. (Good quality and medium to thick fleece is the best for this project) like THIS
Scissors check this out
Ruler or measuring tape
Marking pencil or chalk
Masking tape
Small crochet hook or pair of tweezers
Pony beads, optional
Men’s Fleece Scarf:
Cut fleece 9” in width and 54” to 60” length Trim ends
Leave ends plain and as they are
OR
Mark 3 inches from the edge of the fleece and place masking tape across to help gauge how far to cut and to keep each section even.
Cut at 1-inch intervals from the edge to the masking tape.
Leave with cuts OR In the center of the top edge next to the masking tape, cut a small hole with the very tip of sharp scissors or use a seam ripper to make a small hole.
Put the end into the hole
And pull through
Continue across both ends of the width of the scarf
This is what it looks like on both sides of the scarf
Child’s scarf
Cut fleece 7 inches in width and 54” to 60” in length and trim off edges
Mark 5 inches from the edge of the fleece and place masking tape across to help gauge how far to cut and to keep each section even.
Cut at 1-inch intervals from the edge to the masking tape.
Leave as is with cuts
OR
Using a small crochet hook (I used a 6/1.80mm, a size smaller would work well also), or the blunt end of tweezers,
Push the fleece into the pony bead (a medium to large size bead would work best) and slide towards the top of the cut.
Tie a knot, leaving about a ½” tail.
Continue putting pony beads on the fringe on both ends of the scarf.

Carrie,
I truly love this idea. I did get some material and my daughter Diana made a blanket. It turned out precious. She still uses it today.
Thanks for sharing! I am sure she would like to make another one.
Blessings,
Diane Roark
That is terrific Diane that your are getting your daughter into sewing and crafting young while they are brave to try things and to make something she is proud of her talent and skill. I appreciate your sharing that wonderful idea with us.
You have explained nicely how to make these scarfs, they look good.
Sadhna, that is a wonderful compliment that I appreciate. I try very hard to make sure everyone can actually follow my tutorials, to thank you very much.
These turned out very beautifully Carrie! They seem really simple to make. That’s always a plus!
Thank you Tasha for stopping by and I’m so glad you like them.
Carrie, what a precious idea. Love the no-sew aspect of this project. I like to sew but my machine is heavy. I don’t get it out often. Pinned! sinea ♥
Thanks Sinea, I’m so glad you like the post and I’m with you on the heavy machine. My sewing machine is an old one and built like a tank, but it’s a great one, when I can lug it out, lol
Carrie, I love the way you did the the tie ends, and am going to do a blanket xmas gift. Do I still cut a piece from all corners, and what size would you recommend?
Thanks.
Hello, yes, you will still cut the corners IF you want the flat at the ends. Some people don’t cut the corner section out and it is fine, it just curls around the edges as it makes the bend. 1 1/2 yards of fleece will make a baby blanket or a nice throw. For someone taller, you might want to go up to 2 1/4 yards of fleece. Anything in between is fair game:) THANKS for stopping by and let us know how it turns out please!
