Here’s how you add fringe to a scarf or any item you’ve crocheted or knitted:

First, find an item to wrap your yarn around (this pattern suggests 9 inch long strands, so an object 4.5 inches would do that). Wind the yarn around your item, loosely enough so that your scissors can get underneath to cut it. Cut the yarn from the skein then cut it from your form. Now you have several pieces of yarn all the same length.

Decide how many pieces you’d like to use for your project (this pattern suggests 5 strands for one fringe). Fold the pieces in half. Start with the right side of your project facing up. Insert a crochet hook in the first loop from the bottom up. Take the pieces folded in half, hook them and pull them through. Now take the ends and push them through the loop that is made folding the pieces in half.

Pull the free ends gently and evenly. Continue down the edge of your project.

Items You’ll Need

You’ll need 4 Ply Knitting Worsted yarn. 3 two ounce skeins in each color and a pair of No. 11 Knitting Needles. Gauge is 10 sts = 3 inches; 10 rows = 1 inch.
