Adding the Fringe
Step 1: Cut yarn strands that are at least double the desired length of your fringe. You will also need a little extra for trimming.
We cut out strands to about 13 inches (33 cm) long. For the fringe, you could use all the same color yarn strands or mix it up and use a variety of different yarn colors. We liked to match your frige with the color row we were adding it to.
Once you have cut your strands, take 3 to 4 strands for each fringe and fold them in half.
Step 2: With the right side of the scarf facing down, insert your hook into the scarf's end space where you want the fringe to be. Then, place the folded yarn loops on to the hook.
Step 3: Pull the yarn strands and hook through the stitch, but don't pull the ends of the yarn strands through.
Then, wrap the ends of the yarn strands around the hook and pull them through the loop to create a knot. Gently tug of the strands to tighten the knot.
