Newbie and her fringes
So I finished my scarf. Made fringes (or tassels...depending where you live you may call them that)......Yet my books fail to mention how you put the fringes onto the scarf. Do I sew them on? Knit them on? Hot glue them? Staple them?

I have only fringed one shawl, but what I did is fold each piece of yarn in half, then using a crochet hook, poke the folded side through a loop on the edge of the shawl, then pull the rest of the fringe yarn through the folded end.
