I have always loved home decor trims and fringes, because of their rich look. I have been researching them recently, and wanted to try to emulate this look in crochet. I discovered this technique for making fringe, and I think it has a lot of possibilities. The look of it can be changed by using a different thickness of yarn, using a variegated yarn, and by including beads.
The following is a step by step tutorial on how to create this fringe.
2. Insert hook in first ridge on underside of chain, then wrap yarn around hook and pull up a loop that is 5" (13cm) long. I use an index card, so I will get the same measurement every time.
3. Remove the index card and put the hook back in the loop, then turn the hook clockwise 20 times.
4. Next fold the twisted loop in half and let it twist back on itself.
5. Slip stitch back into same ridge.
6. Repeat these instructions in each of the remaining ridges.

Below is a close up of a 2 color version with the beginning chain in 1 color, and the first row in another. This is the back side of the work. I like the way these 2 colors blend on this side, so I decided to make it the right side of the work for this fringe.
