MAKING A FRINGE FOR YOUR RUG
(Thanks to Deb Valko
for these Instructions)
Using a skein of yarn in a compatible color and thickness to the latch hook
yarn you have used, cut it into lengths double the length of what you wish your
fringe to be. (I would suggest cutting it even longer, you can always trim it
later!)
For 3.75/3.3 mesh canvas use 3 pieces per hole, for 5 mesh canvas use 2 pieces
Using your latch hook pull the threads through the hole and complete the knot as
per normal latchhooking.
When finished hooking all the fringe, evenly trim it to the length you wish
Trim evenly
Decorative Fringe
Work a normal fringe as above but only use every second hole, then follow this
diagram
Trim evenly
Braided Fringe
Use 3 pieces of yarn per hole and just pull through without making a knot. When
you get 3 holes done, braid the yarn from the 3 holes together. To knot the end
of the braid , take 3 pieces of yarn from 1 hole and wrap around the other two
yarn bundles and then pull through itself on the back. (You may like to
experiment and work out a better knot!) When you have finished all the braids
trim evenly
