To make the fringe, cut 24 (36, 48) strands of yarn 14" long. Group the strands in groups of three. Holding the three strands together, fold them in half. Insert the crochet hook into one of the spaces on one of the ends of the scarf. Hook the crochet hook around the center of the folded strands of yarn and pull through the space in the scarf. Remove the crochet hook and pass the ends of the yarn through the fold in the yarn and pull taught.

For the toddler scarf, attach 4 sets of fringe on each end; child's scarf attach 6 sets of fringe on each end; adult size, attach 8 sets of fringe to each end of the scarf. Once all the fringe is attached to the scarf, trim it with a pair of scissors so that it is even.
