Ever wondered how to add fringe to your projects? Adding fringe to your projects is an easy and pretty way to add a little extra to scarves, blankets, shawls and more! It is also a great way to use up the last little bit of yarn left after you finish a project. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need is your knitted\/crocheted piece, yarn, a crochet hook, and your scissors…<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin by deciding how long you’d like your fringe.  Some people measure it, but I usually just estimate it (you’ll trim it up later too),<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, as shown below, make a “bundle” of yarn by winding a bit (I usually lay mine out on the table like this):<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then <\/span>give it a trim,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, insert your crochet hook into the stitch or space,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And hook the bundle loops onto it,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pull it up a bit to make a loop as shown below,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now wrap the tail part of the bundle as shown, and pull it through the loop!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gently tighten the knot, and you’re done.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep repeating across…<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Until you get to the end.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To even everything up, give the fringe a nice “hair cut,”<\/span> You can use a ruler to get a straight line, or simply eye it up if you prefer. You can give the fringe a little shake to straighten it all out. If you see some long pieces, trim as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the fringe is complete, repeat for the other side if making a scarf an be sure that they are about the same length on both sides. Happy stitching everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
