A continuing fascination with fleece material – it is light and warm and rain and wind resistant and some is now being made from recycled pop cans – led to these scarves.
A length of fleece was taken and stitched up the center with long running stitches and then those stitches were gathered. That, basically, is it.
Different effects can be obtained by varying the amount of gathering either all the way along the length or in sections. I loosened up around the middle of the length where it goes around the neck and then made it tighter near one end which gave more weight there and thus a nice drape and hang when looped in a half knot with the other end.
A shorter version gives a collar effect and teamed with a collar-less coat makes for options in changeable weather (such as Victoria's "…wait twenty minutes…." ) and changeable seasons.
I imagine running the stitches closer to one side and not down the middle would make an interesting difference but I haven't played around with that yet.
