You'll need:

Let's start!

1. Begin by casting on 14 stitches

2. For Row 1: knit

3. For Row 2: purl

4. Switch to garter stitch by knitting every row untiltheproject measures about 50 inches.

5. Purl one row, next, knit the last row.

6. Bind off and don't forget to weave in the loose ends.

How to make the fringe:

I recommend using open stitch markers so that you canproperlydetermine where you want to place the fringe.

1. Cut about 60 strands of yarn (about 18 inches each).

2. Divide the strands of yarn in 12 groups, each oneconsistingof five fringe strands.

3. Gather a group of 5 fringe strands, starting at one oftheshort edges.

4. *Put in the crochet hook starting from back to front alltheway into the openings just above the second row of thepiece'sedge.

5. Fold the fringe strands in half and make a loop by holdingthecut ends together.

6. Next, put the loop on top of the hook and pull ithalfwaythrough the piece.

7. To create a knot, pull the cut ends of the fringe throughtheloop. Do this with the hook still in place.

8. To tighten, pull the fringe ends.

9. Repeat from step 4 5 times, making sure to allow an evenspacebetween fringes along the scarf's edge, creating a total of 6groupsof fringes.

10. Repeat the process at the opposite end of the scarf.

11. Trim the fringes to at least 8 inches.
