This fuzzy fleece infinity scarf feels so luxurious, and can be made in no time.
All you need for this one is a fraction of a yard of fleece fabric. They make it in lots of fur-ish textures now, and any of them would be perfect for this.
The particular fleece I found has a swirly, rose-like pattern to it. I have a couple of others I plan to try as well.
This thing is so soft, it’s like a big furry hug, right around your neck. What’s a better gift than that?

To make this you’ll need:
2/3 yard of fleece, Minky, or Cuddle fabric, which should be 58-62” wide
I didn’t bother cutting off the selvages, because this is so furry they didn’t show. It also meant two less edges that were trying to shed. On that note, use a small vacuum on the cut edges to reduce the amount of fuzz you have to breathe.
Fold the fleece lengthwise with right sides together. I found holding the edges was much easier with clips than pins.
Stitch the edge with a 1/4” seam (or 1/2” if you find that more comfortable), beginning 3” from one short end and stopping 3” from the other.
Begin turning right side out, but stop when you’re halfway there and the short ends match up. Clip the short edges with right sides together.
Stitch the edges together. At this point you should have a hole remaining.
Turn the scarf right side out through that opening.
Turn the edges of the opening to the inside 1/4” and hold with clips.
With most projects I would sew this opening closed by hand, and in fact, I started to do that here. However, I found it difficult to keep track of the edge, so I took it to my sewing machine and just stitched over the top of the two edges. You can’t even tell, and it took seconds.
That’s it! Since I had the fabric cut to the right size at the fabric store, I had this finished it about 20 minutes, which included writing down the steps as I went.
There’s also a lot of flexibility in this project. As I mentioned, if you’re finding the 1/4” seam too difficult, move it up to 1/2”.
It doesn’t matter what width your fabric is, as long as it’s within a few inches of 60. It’s hard to go wrong here.
These are so fast and easy, you can make them for everyone on your list!
