Fringe
Cut two 16” (40.5 cm) lengths of each color to match tails at ends of rows. Thread yarn through sc at end of each row and tie in an overhand knot. Cut and thread an additional length of A through end of row with no beginning tail. Comb out and cut fringe to desired length, then tie a tight knot at end of each fringe to prevent fraying. If desired, do not tie a knot at end of fringe; instead, apply fabric sealant to each end.
