This is the perfect time to make winter accessories for your little ones since they will not grow out of them next year. They are going to want to wear them all day long when you pick their favorite colors and they feel the softness of Cuddle fabric. Start with an easy scarf adorned with cute pom poms. This is sure to bring a smile.

Thank you to Fairfield World for donating the wool batting and compensating me for this blog post series. Thank you to Shannon Fabrics for providing the inspiration and a discount on the fabric.

This is a small size scarf that is 29" long plus the length of the pom poms. Please increase the length and width for a large child or even an adult. It is easy to calculate - take a tape measure and place it where you would like the scarf to start and end, wrapping around the back of your neck, and add 1" for the seam allowance. Remember you may want to shorten the length if you are adding pom poms.

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Lay one piece of the cuddle fabric with the right side facing up. Place the next piece of cuddle on top of it with right sides together. Place the wool batting on top. Pin in place.

STEP 2

Trim the all four corners of the scarf sandwich with the small side of the curved corner cutter ruler or something similar.

STEP 3

Increase the stitch length to 3 mm. Using a walking foot, sew around the perimeter of the fur scarf with a ½” seam allowance, leaving a 2-3” opening on one side. If adding pom poms to the ends, also leave a ½” opening on each end.
