OPTIONAL FRINGE

If you choose to add fringe, do so prior to attaching two panels.

With grey yarn, wrap around any small object that will render 4 inch long strands. Cut strands of yarn at bottom.

Holding 2 lengths of yarn (folded in half) with one hand, insert hook under the last grey row (between the red hdc’s). Grab the 2 lengths of yarn with hook, pulling through the space forming a loop large enough to pull the strands though.

Tighten slightly to form knot. Repeat about every other space of that grey row only.

Trim bottom of fringe as needed.

ATTACH PANELS

With right sides together, using white yarn, whip st with yarn needle along 3 sides. Turn right side out, insert pillow, seam remaining side closed.
