Fringe works well on scarves, throws,
sweater hems, and ponchos. You can
make fringe with all kinds of yarn.
Combining two or more different
colors or types of yarn to make fringe
can have a lovely effect, so experiment
by holding various yarn odds and ends
together to see how they look.
To make fringe, you need yarn, a
pair of scissors, and a crochet hook.
Fringe can use up a fair amount of yarn, so make sure you have enough before
you begin. Fringe made of thick yarn requires fewer strands of yarn than fringe
made with thin yarn. Experiment with different thicknesses to see what works
best for your particular project.
1 Determine how long you want your final fringe to be. Then cut yarn to
double that length, plus an inch extra for the knot.
2 Hold the strands together, with the ends matched up, creating a loop
at the top.

from back to front into the lower-left corner, just above the cast-on row.
4 Use the crochet hook to take hold of your loop of folded strands.
