Getting closer to Christmas
So today I don't really have any knitting content. Though I admit that I am frantically trying to get a few more things done. I wanted to share with you all a scarf that my cousin made me for Christmas. It's totally fabulous and so quick and easy you'll wish you had thought of it sooner.
It's a fleece boa and here's what you do:
Materials needed are:
Fleece material - at least 1-1/2 yards long by 6 inches. You'll need two pieces.
Thread
Scissors
Place the fleece pieces on top of each other lengthwise. Now stitch up the middle of the fabric from end to end lengthwise. The zig zag stitch works best here. Now cut fringe up both sides of the scarf apporximately 1 inch wide. When you are done this looks like a very cool boa without the feathers.
Mix and match your fleece. With fleece being approximately 42 inches wide, you can get 7 scarves from two pieces of fleece. That would be 7 gifts for under $20.00.
Now if you get together with a couple of friends, each of you can buy different pieces of fleece so that you can all have 7 different scarf boas.
These would also make great items for donation.
Merry Holidays to you all!
