How to Make Fringe

Hold one end of your yarn on the cardboard, and begin wrapping your yarn around it. Make sure to have both tail ends of your yarn going the same direction.
Using your scissors, cut your yarn on the same edge that your ends are.

Pro Tip: Use a longer or shorter piece of cardboard to vary the size of your fringe.

How to Add Fringe to an Afghan

Place your hook through the first chain at the edge of your afghan going in from the wrong side.
Fold your fringe in half, and loop your hook onto the center piece of your fringe.
Pull that center part of the yarn through the chain.
Grab the two tail ends of your piece of fringe with your hook by wrapping them around your hook and pull them through the center.
Pull this tight to tighten your fringe.

Pro Tip: Be sure to work through the same direction for each piece of fringe that you add.
Repeat this around your entire afghan.
