How to Make a Children's Fleece Scarf
Fleece is a synthetic fabric made from polyester fibers. It is very popular in winter accessories --- especially children's items --- because it is very soft and warm. But before you spend $20 on a new fleece scarf for your child, try making one for a lot less money. Fleece scarves can be made with your child's favorite colors, animals or television character. You don't need a sewing machine for this easy project, so kids can join in the fun.

Tips & Warnings
A non-pill fleece is the best finish when choosing fleece fabric. It will prevent your child's fleece scarf from balling up or pilling after several washings.
