Now, take the time to tie in all of your ends. If you prefer, you can incorporate the strings at the bottom of both edges into your fringes.

Fringes:

Cut 10 - 12 inches long in the amounts listed below

16 - each of remaining colors

(the easiest way to cut fringes: with out-stretched fingers, wrap the yarn around your hand as many times as needed and then cut through all strands at the bottom.

Attach four strands of fringe through every other bottom stitch (or as you prefer). When all fringes are attached, trim evenly.

Enjoy your scarf!
