The edgeshould be finished by a double row of fringe made of wool, and an end of ribbon fastened at eachcorner. It should be worn crossed over the chest, and tied behind. The shawl is commencedwith one stitch, and an increase made at the beginning of every row by putting the wool forwardover the needle. This must be continued until the half square is the required size. The bottomedge should then be ornamented by a fringe, which is made of the fleecy wool, cut in lengths,and looped in at intervals ; each loop of fringe requiring four lengths of wool. If the double rowof fringe is objectionable, the top row may be omitted ; or the fringe may be replaced by a simplecrochet edge. 537.
