Flannel Scarf with Fringe Tutorial

Flannel Scarf 1 BLOG

Ever‌ ‌since‌ ‌we‌ ‌received‌ ‌our‌ ‌Flannel‌ ‌fabric‌ ‌here‌ ‌at‌ ‌AGF,‌ ‌I’ve‌ ‌been‌ ‌fascinated‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌material‌ ‌and‌ ‌brainstorming‌ ‌all‌ ‌sorts‌ ‌of‌ ‌projects‌ ‌that‌ ‌can‌ ‌be‌ ‌created‌ ‌with‌ ‌it!‌ ‌ ‌

I’ve‌ ‌been‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌a‌ ‌long‌ ‌scarf‌ ‌for‌ ‌a‌ ‌while‌ ‌and‌ ‌what‌ ‌a‌ ‌better‌ ‌way‌ ‌to‌ ‌use‌ ‌our‌ ‌new‌ ‌Flannel‌ ‌substrate‌ ‌since‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌extra‌ ‌soft‌ ‌and‌ ‌cozy.‌ ‌ ‌

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌tutorial,‌ ‌I’m‌ ‌going‌ ‌to‌ ‌show‌ ‌you‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌a‌ ‌flannel‌ ‌scarf‌ ‌with‌ ‌fringes.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌fun‌ ‌experimenting‌ ‌with‌ ‌this‌ ‌fringe‌ ‌as‌ ‌I‌ ‌pulled‌ ‌each‌ ‌thread‌ ‌one‌ ‌at‌ ‌a‌ ‌time,‌ ‌but‌ ‌just‌ ‌take‌ ‌your‌ ‌time‌ ‌and‌ ‌enjoy‌ ‌the‌ ‌process!‌ ‌ ‌

To‌ ‌make‌ ‌this‌ ‌scarf‌ ‌you‌ ‌will‌ ‌need‌ ‌2‌ ‌yards‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌Width‌ ‌of‌ ‌Fabric‌ ‌(WOF)‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌“Wondering‌ ‌with‌ ‌Bear”‌ ‌Flannel‌ ‌print.‌ ‌ ‌

Before‌ ‌you‌ ‌start‌ ‌this‌ ‌project,‌ ‌make‌ ‌sure‌ ‌to‌ ‌take‌ ‌note‌ ‌that‌ ‌you‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌creating‌ ‌the‌ ‌fringes‌ ‌perpendicular ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌selvage,‌ ‌since‌ ‌that’s‌ ‌where‌ ‌it‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌easier‌ ‌to‌ unravel ‌the‌ ‌fabric ‌and‌ ‌overall‌ ‌be‌ ‌a‌ ‌better‌ ‌look‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌fringe.‌ ‌ ‌

    What are the finished measurements? 72″ X 22″? (depending on WOF used)

    You don’t say anything about washing the flannel first. I assume you should?

    Are you doubling the fabric because ithe design is only on one side? I guess you could do the same with single-ply and you would just have a thinner scarf???

    Hi, Pam! Yes, its because the print is only on one side. You can definitely do single-ply if you dont mind having the print on just one side and being thinner.

    I am only 5’3″ and this looks pretty long on the lovely model. Does anyone have suggestions for a shorter length?

    Our flannel has 3-5% shrinkage, so if you prefer to wash it beforehand you can.

    Hi, there! In the photo, one side was pulled longer but as someone that wore this scarf and is only 52, I find it the perfect length! Just above the hip. 💗

    Edge stitch……. You don’t really show that? I assume you are making a small fold under twice? Then stitching.

    HI, Rosey! You can see where to edge stitch on the 8th photo and more clearly on the10th photo, which means you are stitching around 1/8 of an inch around from the edge. I hope that clears things up! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    You provide an image with a one inch sewing line all the way around the scarf, but then in the picture with the fringe it looks like it is much smaller. Can you confirm the 1 inch border is just on the ends and then what are the sides? A quarter inch or less?

  20. Jannelle Avatar

    Hi, there! The ends are 1-inch border, as the sides are edge-stitched.

    I don’t really understand.. how much fabric do I need ? How much should i purchase?

    Hi Emily! Yes, you could! But because you are working with one fabric in this tutorial using the WOF and folding it, measuring 21″ of width by 72″ of length, I would suggest both coordinating fabrics to measure 22″ of width and 72″ as your length that way is not so wide. Hope this helps.

    Hi Devon! Yes, you will have right sides out and then press.

    Hi Maggie! You need 2 yards of fabric. You will fold your flannel fabric in half, making sure the selvedges are facing each other. Hope this helps!
