FRINGE TECHNIQUE
Insert your hook through a surface stitch where you would like to add some hair. Fold a
4-5” piece of yarn in half over the hook and draw the yarn through the surface stitch
forming a small loop. Pull the two loose ends of the yarn through this loop and pull
tightly to secure them. Use a tapestry needle to separate the yarn strands for a fuller,
fluffier look and scissors to trim and shape the hair.
