How to Make a Child's Neck Warmer

Make a fast neckwarmer with just some fleece and a pair of scissors!

When the weather turns colder, it can be difficult to find scarves for your little ones that don’t require a lot of wrapping to keep the material from dragging on the ground. Long scarves can even be a hazard if a child trips over it or if a playmate accidentally steps on it while on the playground. The best compromise to keep little necks warm and safe is to make a quick neck warmer. Best of all, making one yourself doesn’t even require you to have a sewing machine.

Things You'll Need

• One-fourth yard of no-pill fleece fabric
• Scissors
• Measuring stick or tape measure

Instructions

1. Open out the fabric so that you have a piece which is approximately 9 inches by 58 inches.

2. Measure and cut a piece from the larger section that it is 9 inches by 24 inches.

3. Measure up 3 inches from center line, and cut a 4-inch slit in the fleece fabric.

4. Wrap the fleece around child’s neck and pull any extra through the slit to wear without the material falling off.

Tips & Warnings

• You can add length for older or bigger children.

• You can add visual interest by creating fringe by cutting a series of straight lines across both ends of the scarf.

• Do not put scarves on infants without supervision.
