Fringe was the biggest trend at New York Fashion Week for Spring 2016 and here we are, 2 years later, and it doesn’t seem to be fading from our lives any time soon! I want to show you how quick and easy it is to add fringe to your projects.
All you need are the following items: Your project, yarn, hook, scissors and measuring tape.
1. Figure out how long you want your fringe to be, double it and cut your yarn 1″ longer than that. I wanted my finished fringe length to be 6″ so I cut strips of yarn at 13″ long so I had extra to play with.
2: Fold your yarn in half (I used 2 strands to really emphasis the fringe on my project!) and pull the loop through your project using your hook.
3: Pull the hanging ends of the fringe through the loop.
4: Pull firmly on the ends to tighten the knot you just made. Give your fringe a trim so that all the ends lay nice and even.
Voila! You are now sporting one of the hottest trends!
Looking for a pattern to add some fringe to? The photos above show my Shelby Triangle Cowl, however, the Charlottetown Cowl and the Lisa Triangle Cowl also look spectacular with this embellishment!

So beautiful! I bought your pattern. I was just wondering how the fringe holds up in the wash?
Hi Maria! I have handwashed my fringed garments and they held up perfectly! My cowl I machine washed on a gentle cycle. It took a little untangling, but nothing too bad.
I’ve always loved the asymmetrical hemline development, and
your asymmetrical skirt is real style goals.
It adds such a unique touch to your ensemble! Skirts for women trendy summer
