Get you sewing kit and machine out. Here we go.

2. Decide the length of your trim.
3. Sew trim on each end of the velveteen.
4. Sew the scarf together lengthwise.
5. Turn inside out.
6. You now have a scarf in just a few minutes.
~There are lots of variations on the theme~
*Length of trim
*Gather trim or sew trim flat
*Hem edge of trim or use salvage edge
*Cut trim on the bias
*Use a different trim fabric for each end
*Leave trim open and only sew the edge of the velveteen together
*Use other soft fabrics instead of velveteen
*Vary the length and width of the scarf
MOST IMPORTANT HAVE FUN!
Use a stripped, plaid, print or plain trim fabric 
Add an emblishment for a festive look.
Trim sewn straight to velveteen.
Gathered trim to velveteen.
