How much fabric is needed for a scarf?

Cut the fabric to the desired length and width. You can use 1.5 yards (1.4 m) for a moderate length scarf, or use 2 yards (1.8 m) for a long scarf.

How big should a blanket scarf be?

Traditional blanket scarfs are usually right around 50″ square, so if you want to go that route, make sure to find 60″ wide flannel.

How long should a flannel scarf be?

The recommended guide is to make your scarf as long as the wearer is tall. For a general adult size scarf, 6′ is good because most women like a long scarf to loop and style with. For children 5-8 years old, I would recommend around 4′ and for children 9-13 5′ would be a good length. 6″-9″ wide is the most common width.
