Fringe:

Wrap reserved yarn around a 6” measure 32 times. Cut strands at one end of wrap. Using 4 strands for each fringe, attach to shawl ends in each of the 4 openings formed by skipping 2 sts. Fold bundle of strands in half, insert crochet hook into space at end of shawl, pull loop through space, then pull ends of fringe through loop on hook. Tighten knot.

Finishing:

If desired, lightly block shawl by dampening it with cool to lukewarm water, then roll in towel to absorb excess moisture. Spread dry towels out on a flat space, lay shawl on top of towel and smooth out openwork pattern. Cover with more towels and leave to dry.
