but don't worry beginners, it's still a cinch.
You will need:
- 1/4 yard each of two different colors anti-pill fleece
- 2 green buttons (I used 5/8")
- scrap of 5/8" wide red ribbon (I used a felt ribbon so it won't fray)
- basic sewing supplies
- sewing machine

(some of you may be thinking, "why didn't we just leave the strip at it's original 9" width and cut 6" strips instead?" Well you're sharp, but here's why:
this keeps the stretch of the fabric going around the neck, where it can useful.)

and 4 pieces of black. You will start and end with white.
This will make an approx. 50" scarf, a good size for a younger child.
Add more pieces for an older child.

Enlarge or reduce the image so the bottom edge measure 4 1/2",
And the top to bottom edge measures 6".

Place template on piece and cut around. Do NOT cut the fold.

It should look like a mutant two-headed snake.

Be sure to sew right sides together
(remember anti-pill fleece has kind of a fur on the right side?)


Leave the short cut edge of the point open for turning.




Just don't get too carried away when you're wrapping this around his neck.
He's not actually supposed to suffocate.
Although if you make this for someone a lot older, say your brother, or your husband,
I guess there will be times when there's no such thing as too tight...
But good luck getting a grown man to wear a scarf that looks like a snake.
so cute. i'm gonna make it, well see how i do
