Finishing Your Headscarf

When you're content that your scarf is just the way you would like it to be, you are done! However if you want to add a fringe as a special touch do the following;

Cut sixteen pieces of wool of each color, and about 12cm in length.
To form one piece of the fringe, take one strand of each color ; fold them in half to form a loop.
Then employing a crochet hook, draw the loop through the knitted fabric, and draw the ends through the loop. Pull the knot tight.

Space eight of these fringe knots uniformly across the width of both ends of your scarf, and that is all there is to it.
