"How to make a Fringe"

A fringe is probably the most popular edging applied to a crochet scarf, knitted scarf, valentine scarf, Afghan Rugs, Baby Shawls, Ponchos and pillows. Most likely because it is very quick and easy to make, and gives such an elegant finish to so many designs. It can also cover up the sometimes unsightly end rows of a scarf or blanket.

INSTRUCTIONS

To begin, cut 3 strands of yarn 35cm [14ins] long, and lay them side by side, as below.

Fold the strands of yarn in half and using your crochet hook, pull the strands through your edge stitch from front to back [as below].

Now hook the strands and pull them through the loop. Tighten by pulling the strands away from your design.

You can adjust the length by making the strands of yarn shorter. You can use more strands to create a fuller bulkier effect. Decide on the effect you would like to create depending on how it will suit the design you’ve chosen.
