Adding fringe (figure A):
You will be adding a single-strand fringe to each st along one side of both panels. Cut each yarn strand 20" long. Fold it in half, and then use the hook to pull the loop just through the st. Take the loose ends of the strand and pull them through the loop. Pull gently to tighten the knot. After you have added all the fringes, trim the ends even.
