Adding Fringes
Supplies needed for the fringe
Yarn in the color of your choice
Scissors

Tape measure

Notes:
You would have to trim off the excess to make the length uniform.
The length of the solid material you intend to use will determine the length of your yarn.
Adding the Fringe to your crochet scarf keychain
Cut yarn strips
Cut 6-8 strands of yarn, each about 2-3 inches long.
These will be used to create the fringes on both ends of the scarf.
Attach the fringes
Take 2 strands at a time and loop them through the bottom stitches using a lark’s head knot.
Repeat on both sides to create the classic scarf tassel effect.
Trim the fringe
Use scissors to even out the ends for a clean look.
How to fold the scarf
Step 1: Lay the Scarf Flat
Once you’ve finished crocheting the scarf strip, lay it flat on a table or in your hands.
Make sure the edges are even and the fabric is not twisted.
Step 2: Create the Loop at the Top
Fold one end of the scarf over itself to form a small loop at the top.
This should resemble the beginning of a ribbon shape or a basic awareness ribbon.
Step 3: Cross the Ends
Take both ends of the scarf and cross them over each other at the bottom.
The right end should go over the left end, creating an “X” shape at the bottom while keeping the loop at the top open.
Step 4: Secure the Overlap
Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to stitch the crossed section together where the two ends overlap.
If you prefer, you can use a small piece of yarn to tie a few stitches in the middle to hold the shape in place.
Step 5: Adjust the Fringe
Make sure the fringe on both sides hangs evenly and naturally.
You can trim the ends to make them even if necessary.
Attach the Keychain Ring
Use a keyring clasp
Insert the keyring through a stitch at the top of the folded loop.
Make sure it’s secure and tight so it doesn’t slip out.
