Finishing Touches
- Fringe:
- Cut strands of yarn approximately 12 in. (30.5 cm) long.
- For each fringe, hold 3 strands of yarn together and fold them in half.
- Use a crochet hook to draw the fold through the edge of the scarf, forming a loop.
- Pull the ends of the fringe through this loop and then pull to tighten.
- Make 11 fringes along each short end of the Scarf, using yarn color that matches the stripes.
- Trim the fringe evenly to about 5 in. (12.5 cm) long.
- Weave in ends: Use your large-eyed blunt needle to weave in all remaining yarn ends for a neat finish.
