Adding Fringes

Supplies needed for the fringe

  • Yarn in the color of your choice
  • Scissors 
  • Solid material – Can be a ruler
  • Tape measure

Finished measurement of the fringes – 1”

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  1. 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.
