FINISHING

Fringe:  Cut two 22” long strands of yarn.  Put strands tog and fold in half.  With RS facing, using crochet hook, draw center of strands through ch at beg of shawl forming a loop.  Pull ends of strands through loop.  In this manner, make fringe in each sc row along side edges of shawl.  Trim to even off if necessary.

Note:  For speedier cutting, wrap yarn multiple times around a piece of cardboard that is the desired length of the fringe.  Cut lower edge to free wrapped strands.
