Faux Chenille Scarves

Rayon fabrics, cut on the bias, are used to create these faux chenille scarves. The bias pieces are stacked five to seven layers high, and then stitched through all layers at ˝-inch intervals. The top two layers are cut through between the rows of stitching, and the bottom two layers are cut through between the stitching, leaving the middle layer uncut, except at the ends, where the fringe is formed by cutting through all layers.

The scarf is washed, and then dried in a dryer with a fabric softener sheet. The scarf may require several wash and dry cycles to obtain the “bloom” desired for the faux chenille. They are soft and warm as well as fashionable.

These scarves can be machine washed (cool or warm) and dried in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet.
