Attaching the Fringe

To create the fringe, cut 12 cm pieces of yarn. You will need 2 strands of yarn to complete 1 fringe. You will do 6 red fringes, 4 orange, 4 yellow, 4 green, 4 baby blue, 4 blue and 4 purple.

Grab 2 strands of yarn. Use a larger crochet hook and push the hook through the first chain. Fold the 2 strands in half and pull the loop of strands through the foundation chain until you form a “U”. Fold the end of the strands through the “U” and tighten to create the fringe. Repeat for every other chain.
