Can’t sew? Not sure how to knit? No problem! This no-sew DIY scarf is made out of fleece and comes together in 2 minutes and only requires a few cuts with scissors! Make a bunch for yourself and friends!
I love scarves! They are so much fun and add color and style to any outfit. My kids have always worn scarves. They are so easy to make and require hardly any fabric so it just made sense to make them vs. buy them. I can’t for the life of me knit or crochet, nor do I have the desire, which is probably why I haven’t learned how! I just don’t have the patience for that, but I have friends who can do that and don’t know how I have the patience for sewing. So it all works out!
But I can cut…and that is all you need to be able to know how to do to make this fun little DIY scarf.
2 Minute DIY Scarf
I cut a strip of fleece 5″x48″ and cut the bottoms up 4″ to create fringe. That was it!
A 2-minute scarf for about .25. Can’t beat that! We made several more to go with her winter coats. These make great gifts, too!

Quick, but more expensive than buying one these days as you generally have to buy at least one yard of fabric, and then some websites I see requiring minimum of two yards, so buying way more than you need. An Old Navy scarf on sale is about $3.00 and if you order enough, you get free shipping. Couldn’t find a fabric website with free shipping unless I ordered a huge amount of yardage. Prices per yard run from about $4.50 up to amounts on Amazon that are insane. $14.00 with “free” shipping for one yard of polar fleece is crazy. Just buy a scarf then. There is really no win win here. I have built personal computers and honestly those cost less to buy as well, or about the same. Driving to a Joann 45 minutes from me means gas and tax. It is no bargain to pay at least $5 a yard plus gas and tax is it? Where are you people getting your fleece from?? I’m picky too, I have to like it. You can’t cut up an old garment from a thrift store, could be smelly, ratty and you can’t make a scarf, won’t be long enough, maybe a hat or ear band. It is a bummer that fabric costs more than a finished garment.
I hate that Joanns and other websites require you to purchase 2 yards of fabric at a time. I usually buy my fabric from etsy (not fleece, but other quilting fabrics if I need a yard or less). I live 15 minutes from a Joann’s so most of the time it works out to go there with a 50% off coupon. If you live any farther than that it really does add up with gas and time and may not be worth the trip unless you are stocking up on a big fabric sale!
I made a few of these, but they seemed a tad short for adults. Do you recommend a longer length for adults? If so, what would you recommend? :o)
I would recommend cutting the full length of the yard (at least 60″) for an adult scarf. Hope that helps!
I use old tee shirts, extra big, cut out the best part. Sometimes I leave them so they are a circle. One piece. I also stretch them to make them bigger. And these are free. I guess you can us any shirt, but tee shirts work the best.
That’s a fabulous idea! What an easy way to make a knit infinity scarf!
AWESOME idea for Christmas, or ANY Gift :O) Thanks for Posting!

I made one like this for Ashton a few weeks ago for a snowman picnic that we were going to. It took 30 seconds and got rid of some scraps from my stash. But he refuses to wear it. Of course. At least it was free and took no time.
