On the Fringe is a compact scarf designed less for warmth and more for decoration. It features a delicate lace pattern and subtle colour variations in the random stripes. On The Fringe has plush fringes on both ends giving the scarf movement and a quirky style. This pattern is worked in one piece, knitted flat and is suitable for advanced beginners or anyone wanting to try simple lace knitting, or lace knitting for the first time.
