Fox Scarves

And wolf scarves too, and fringed scarves. Those are the newest things I'm trying out for selling at the Country Cellar this year.  I sort of got the idea after seeing some online.  Like this picture.

It's not red, but you get the idea.  Mine will be longer, the wrap around kind, in red polar fleece with a white tail tip and a semi-stuffed head. Simple things. 
 
I've already gotten the polar fleece from JoAnn Fabrics, they had a 50% off sale and all my fleece came from the remnant bins which were another 50% off.  The standard neck scarf that you wrap around usually runs 5 feet long, and 9" across.
 
A lot of the online selections that come up when you google 'fox scarf' and click on 'images' are pretty lame looking. Most have dangling feet which I wasn't going to add.  I think I can come up with something nice and still keep it to the $5 range.  I considered raccoons (not enough interest) and a few other animals, wanted to do a snow leopard but JoAnn's didn't have the right print for that, so I'll stick to red fox and gray wolf.
 
Here's another variant.  The wolf scarf (someone on Etsy was making these). I'd go for a more realistic face.  And probably a nicer tail without the indent. And no dangling legs either. Maybe not so stuffed on the face too.

As for the fringed scarf, that'll take 3 or 4 layers, sewn down the middle and sliced in at both sides in 1/2" increments to be fluffy enough.  Double the fleece, but a totally different look as a scarf.
