Fringe
To finish off this easy crochet scarf, we’ll add classic fringe. You can leave the fringe off if you’d like!
First, you’ll need to decide 2 things:
-
How long you’d like the fringe to be
-
How many strands of yarn to place in each stitch for your fringe. The more strands of yarn you put in each stitch for the fringe, the more full your fringe will be.
For example: 1) 4 inch fringe. 2) 2 strands per stitch. This means you would need 72 strands per edge or 144 strands total.
Once you’ve decided on these 2 requirements, you’ll cut strands of yarn approximately 2 times longer than your desired fringe length.
For example: My fringe is 4 inches long when finished. So I cut my strands of yarn to be about 8+ inches.
Using something hard (like a book) for an approximate measurement works well. You can wrap the yarn around this item and then cut on one side to create multiple long strands at once.
Take 2 strands (or however many you’ve decided to use per stitch) and fold them in half so you have a loop. Keep the ends of the strands even. Use your hook to pull the loop through the stitch on the short end of the scarf. Then, pull the tails through the loop and pull on the tails to tighten them.
Repeat along the short ends of your scarf to finish the fringe. Once the fringe is completed, you’re all done. Enjoy!
