It's easy to create a self fringe. This is a fringe that hangs from the side of your piece rather than the ends. Consider this shawlette (Amalthea, knit in Pima Silk Hand Paint):
Pretty cool, huh?

Creating a self fringe
Love the look of a fringed scarf but hate the tedious business of cutting a million little lengths of fringe to attach? Consider a self fringe!
It's easy to create a self fringe. This is a fringe that hangs from the side of your piece rather than the ends. Consider this shawlette (Amalthea, knit in Pima Silk Hand Paint):
At the end of this project, there are 18 stitches left. To finish it, we knit the first five stitches and then bind off the rest of the row.
Now here's the fun part. We take those five remaining stitches and...drum roll...unravel them!
Ta-da! A little blocking would relax the fringe and straighten it out a bit, but we kind of like it with this "ramen noodley" look.
Pretty cool, huh?
