Instructions:
Preparation of the fleece:
1.
Cut the fleece to the desired measurement. If the fleece is 54” wide and does not have a pattern that
dictates cutting the material on the lengthwise of the grain, one yard can be cut into 4 pieces crosswise of
the grain to get a scarf that measures approximately 9” x 54”. If the fleece has a pattern that needs to run
up and down the finished scarf, you will need to buy 1-1/2 yards. You will be able to get 6 scarves
measuring approximately 9” x 54”.
2.
Run a line of stitching 1/4” from the edge all of the way around the fleece with the sewing machine
and a large needle. A thread color that is a strong contrast to the fleece is good. This stitching does two
things. It provides a guide line for the placement of your first row of single crochets. It also leaves a pilot
hole to poke the crochet hook through.
3.
Starting in the middle of one short end, stick the size 6 steel hook through one of the needle holes.
Pull a loop of the yarn through the material and ch1. Move to another needle hole about 1/4” away and
pull a loop through, yo and pull through both loops on the hook. Continue to work around the edge of the
fleece, working 3 sc in the corners. Make your stitches as even as possible so that the edge doesn't pucker.

Hold 2 pieces of yarn together and fold them in half. Pull the fold through one corner stitch. Pull the
yarn ends through the fold. Tighten the fringe around the sc. Skip one sc and repeat adding the fringe
