Fringes
Cut your yarn into lengths twice as long as you want the finished fringe.
Take two pieces of fringe yarn and fold them in half. Insert the crochet hook into the first stitch and hook the folded yarn loop. Pull the loop through about a third of the way. Now open up the loop (both pieces of yarn) and slip the ends of the yarn (all 4 ends) through the loop. Gently pull it tight to create the first piece of fringe. You may need to adjust the ends as you tighten to get them all even. Continue adding two pieces of yarn to each stitch along the edge of the coaster.
