This self-fringing pattern is knit in garter stitch from the point up so it's easy to tell when you are
running out of yarn. It's the perfect project for using up scraps of yarn of any weight that you have
lying around or skeins that are languishing in your stash. The varying weights of yarn in this pattern
create a fun textured effect, but you can also use yarns that vary less in weight for a more consistent
look. You can tie off the fringe (as shown here), braid the pieces together for larger looking fringe,
leave the fringe long, or cut them short. This simple pattern is easy to customize and great for
beginner knitters too!

Materials
- 1 box of Cascade Cupcakes or twelve 15-20 yd scraps of yarn
- US Size 9 or 10 needles
- 1 - 3/4" button
|
Gauge
Not super important, but the sample averages 3.5 sts per 1"
|
Finished Measurements
- 21" wide at top edge
- 10" tall from top edge to point (not including fringe)
*Please note, size is entirely customizable. You could certainly keep going and make this larger, even shawl sized. However, the bandana shown uses up most of the yarn in your Cascade Cupcake set. If
you are using stash yarn or scraps, you can certainly make it whatever size you want. Just keep going in the pattern until you are satisfied with the size and width.
