Bind Off

Fringe

1. Cut lengths of yarn measuring 12 inches in each color (deep charcoal, midnight blue, and forest green).
2. Attach the fringe along the two short edges of the shawl, alternating colors to create a gradient effect.
3. Trim the fringe to your desired length for a polished look.

Finishing

1. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to secure and hide any loose yarn.
2. Block the shawl to measurements to enhance the drape and texture, ensuring it lays flat and looks its best.
