Braided Look No-Sew Fleece Scarf - 5 out of 4 Patterns

This no-sew scarf is super easy to make and ends up with a braided look. You can even have the kids in your life help you make them. I always end up with extra fleece from my sewing projects, so this was a great use for some of those leftovers.

Supplies:

Fleece
Circle template
Scissors

Template

Find a circle the size you want. (I used the lid of a large 3-wick candle that was 4.5″ across.) Trace the lid onto a piece of cardboard and cut it out to make your circle template.

Cut the Scarf Pieces

Lay your fleece out and fold it in half so it is wide enough for the template to easily fit on it along the fold.
Set the template on top of the fleece lined up with the folded edge.
Cut out multiple pieces on the fold large enough for your template. I cut 24 for this one, you can make more or less depending on how long you want your scarf to be.
Cut around the circle-do not cut the folded edge.

Open up the folded circle pieces.
Fold each outer edge in towards the middle where the two sides connect and make a small cut at the center about 1/2″ long.
Repeat on the opposite side as well, then do this on all of your pieces.

Make Your “Braid”

Fold your first piece in half at the original fold so that the cuts on either side match up.
Take your second piece, fold it lengthwise, and slide it through the first piece.
Continue pullling it through to the center and fold the second one in half to match up the two holes on that second piece.

Continue this process with all of your pieces until your scarf it the length that you like it.

Finish the Ends

Cut a couple of strips of fleece to make bows.
On the starting end, slide the strip through the opening then tie it into a bow.

At the opposite end, since there is not a fold, take a shorter piece and put it through the holes. Tie it in a knot, then slide the knot to the inside so it won’t be visible.
Use the loop formed by this piece to put your other strip into and tie a bow.

Ta-da! You’re ready to brave that chilly weather!
