Frinji's here!

What is a FRINJI?  A scarf made totally of specialty and common yarns in fringe fashion.

The center of the FRINJI has a CHAIN knot like the knot on the left.  NOTE:  there are 4 steps to tie the chain, holding all fringe as one strand.

 
Both ends of the FRINGI have an OVERHAND Knot, illustrated here.

Place center of scarf at front neck, wrap each end around once or twice, bring one end up under all layers and back out to front. (Not pictured.)

Carefully untie knots and experiment with scarf tying … HINT:  Always leave one knot tied.  Fringe will get tangled, untangle like you would comb tangled hair.  Use your fingers beginning at the bottom of the fringe, working pieces loose moving upward.

Hand wash with COLD WATER, tie several overhand knots in scarf, use mild soap, roll in towel to remove excess water.  Lay the piece flat and gently finger comb loose fringe.  When dry, untie extra knots and separate fringe.

ALL FRINJIs HAVE BLENDS OF FIBERS (some wool, angora, or alpaca is included unless otherwise noted.)

Try your Frinji as a belt.
