Garter Stitch Scarf Pattern

If you are happy with your scarf the way it is, you have finished, but if you would like to add a special touch you can add a fringe.

For a Plain Fringe:

To do this cut 48 pieces of yarn about 12cm long.

To form a piece of the fringe take three strands of yarn and fold them in half to form a loop. Using a crochet hook, draw the loop through the knitted fabric of your scarf and then draw the ends through the loop.

Pull the fringe knot tight.

Space eight fringe knots evenly across both ends of your scarf and you are done!

For a Knotted Fringe:

To do this cut pieces of yarn about 20cm long.

To form a piece of the fringe take four strands of yarn and fold them in half to form a loop. Using a crochet hook, draw the loop through the knitted fabric of your scarf and then draw the ends through the loop.

Pull the fringe knot tight.

Space five fringe knots evenly across the end of your scarf leaving space for a fringe knot at each end. At each end form a fringe knot using two strands (instead of four).

Once you have all your fringe knots attached to the scarf you can tie them together. Divide each fringe knot (except the two end fringe knots) into two, tie a knot about half way down the fringe using four strands from one fringe knot and four strands from the next fringe knot. Continue to work in this manner until all of the center fringes are joined.

Finally join the four strands of the end fringe knot to the four remaining strands of the next fringe knots to finish your fringe.
