This decoration can be useful for decorating interior items - curtains, tablecloths, lampshades ...
In addition, fringe can be used in small handicrafts - making toys, clothes for dolls and other interesting things.
To quickly create fringes, we will need: yarn of the desired color and composition, a cardboard roll (you can glue toilet rolls together), cloth tape (roll adhesive plaster is also great), scissors and threads.
We will use a sewing machine for sewing.
The diameter of the cardboard cylinder will determine how long the fringe strands are. If the cylinder reaches 5 cm in diameter, then the length of the threads will be about 7-8 cm. 
So, we fix the end of the yarn - we glue it with a plaster to the edge of the roll. We begin to wind the threads around the roll. We do this without tightening the yarn, otherwise it will be difficult to remove it from the cylinder. Having rolled the threads to the second end of the roll, cut off the yarn and fix its end - attach it to the cardboard. Now we cut off the plaster of the required length and glue it along the entire length of the roll across the threads.
From time immemorial, the border has been considered the element of knitting that gives any product true tenderness and sophistication. It can be used to decorate any crocheted items - from clothing items to kitchen accessories (napkins, tablecloths, towels, curtains and much more). Moreover, not only finished knitted products are tied with a decorative border. Openwork lace, knitted along the free edge of the fabric, can breathe new life into an old, long-forgotten thing from a woman's or children's wardrobe.
There are a lot of ways to knit a border. They knit it up and down, in one layer and with layering, using sirloin, openwork, tape techniques, as well as in the form of a border or fringe. Each option for knitting a border has its own subtleties, therefore, if the craftswoman has just begun to master the basics of crocheting, we recommend choosing the simplest tying schemes, subsequently gradually complicating the knitting tasks. 
Today we will talk about how to crochet a border. We offer needlewomen a large collection of patterns and step-by-step instructions for crocheting the edges of knitted products - from simple "pico" to super-complex knitted "butterflies".

- After 3 connected sirloin cells, we collect 2 VP, we knit 3 tbsp. s / n + 2 VP + 3 st. s / n into a nearby corner arch from 2 VP (this will be the right wing of the butterfly).
- We collect 12 VP, we knit 3 tbsp. s / n + 2 VP + 3 st. s / n into the underlying arch from 2 VP (left wing of the butterfly).
- We collect 3 VP, knitting reversal.
- We knit the afterbirth. a row of butterflies: shells - into shells, between them - flail. for 14 VP.
- Next, we tie the row according to the well-known scheme. We collect 3 VP, again unfold the knitting.
- We knit 3 tbsp. s / n, 2 VP, st. s / n, arch for 5 VP, 5 fillet cells. Rise 3 VP, knit like the very first row. We repeat the pattern until the border reaches the required length.
- We proceed to the antennae of the butterfly. We collect the chain. for 25-30 VP, carefully hide the tails of the threads inside. We tie all 4 arches from the VP with a chain (you can use a regular knot). We get a well-defined butterfly. To decorate a butterfly, its larger wing can be tied with a pico. Ready!

Video master classes on the topic "Crocheting a border"
For those who are more comfortable working with video tutorials, we provide detailed master classes on knitting all kinds of borders:
In order to give a finished item to a newly knitted item, you need to carefully tie its edge. At the same time, the knitted fabric will stop curling, since its edges will become stiff, the old thing will take on a completely new look. This fairly simple job can be done in various ways.
We bring to your attention video tutorials on how to properly tie the edges of knitted products in various ways. It's easy to master them, and soon you will be able to give your work the beautiful look that they acquire after strapping.
Very simple edge strapping, quite understandable for beginners. The first row is knitted with single crochets, a French mesh is formed in the second and third rows, and fans are arranged on the fourth row, consisting of eight double crochets. This row turns out to be the most beautiful. The result is a border with a pattern composed of semicircular elements, which are based on connected fans.
For any fabric, it is enough to knit the first initial row, and then you can form a pattern. It makes a good edging for the collars of the dressing gowns. It is simply sewn onto the base material.
Video lesson:
The edge tied in this way becomes even and dense, resembling a pigtail. This method is used to tie the armholes and necks, the edges of the sides of knitted clothes, created with knitting needles or crocheted. This seam strengthens the edges of pockets and scarves. The method got its name because it is not formed in the usual direction from right to left, but on the contrary, as if moving backwards.
You can use the same thread for tying with which the garment itself was knitted, but this thread can also be taken in a different color: the colored edging looks neat on any knitted garment, decorating its overall design with an unexpected frame.
Video lesson:
This beautiful finish consists of small pompoms, each of which is attached to the edge of the fabric with two posts. It turns out a zigzag pattern, where a neat pompom is located at the top of each zigzag. The pattern looks very beautiful and ceremonial. It can be used to decorate large items such as knitted blankets, shawls or pillows.
The use of pom-poms creates a design that complements and accentuates the knitted pattern that was used on the base garment. For all the seeming complexity of the pattern, it is created very simply and is quite accessible even for beginners.
Video lesson:
This way of tying the edge of knitted items is extremely simple, but it looks impressive. A small bead is formed from four single crochets, dense and neat. A number of such beads, located close to one another, can decorate tightly knitted products, but they can also be suitable for patterned blankets or shawls.
The strapping is not necessarily done along a straight edge; you can also strap curved surfaces, and even wavy edges. The resulting volumetric edge binding looks very nice if it is made in a different color, contrasting with the color of the main knitting thread.
Video lesson:
If there is a desire not only to reinforce the edges of a knitted thing with a strap, but to decorate them with an interesting pattern, try this knitting option. Their interlacing is formed by simple columns, and a pattern with arches and openings repeating in two tiers is obtained.
With all the complexity of the pattern, getting it is quite simple - you just need not to get confused in the alternation of loops and in the location of the repeating columns. The pattern can be based on a completely arbitrary type of knitted loops, it can be edged with any knitted thing, regardless of whether it was crocheted or knitted. It will still turn out beautifully.
Video lesson:
Five stitches with one crochet, tied in the same loop, form a small neat shell, in which the loops make up the edge, and the stitches make fan-shaped waves, just like on a real shell. This is a simple and interesting way to crochet the edge of a garment, giving the edge of any knitted garment an interesting look.
It is especially impressive if the shells are knitted from a thread of a different color than the main product, the resulting contrasting pattern perfectly frames any knitting. Even if the product is obtained in the simplest way of knitting, its edging in this way gives it an interesting unusual look.
Video lesson:
There are several options for crocheting the edge for napkins or handkerchiefs. Napkins can be any, linen or silk, depending on the thickness of the fabric and the thickness of the thread used for the edging is chosen. It is quite possible to use bobbin thread number 20-30 to match the napkin or in a contrasting color.
The scarf is cut out of the fabric strictly in the direction of the threads. One centimeter from each edge is pulled out one thread, and for the resulting grooves we begin to make a strapping. A chain of loops is created along the edge of the napkin, which become the basis of the pattern created from the threads.
Video lesson:
Periodically turning the knitting over and using the instructions of the pattern for creating the pattern, we get a fairly thick cord along the edge of the knitted thing, resembling a caterpillar in its appearance. A method of knitting such a pattern is also proposed without turning over the entire work, with intercepting the hook, which is convenient if an overall shawl or bedspread is knitted, which is inconvenient to turn over.
It tells in detail how to get a "caterpillar" on indirect, rounded knitting edges, both on convex and concave. In this way, the sleeves, collars, the lower edge of the product and even the edges of the hats are tied. The result is a very decorative pattern.
Video lesson:
A small pattern is knitted from half-columns fixed on every third loop of the row, and two loops are skipped. The result is an edging of repeating small semicircles following one after the other. This border can be knitted in a circle, detailed instructions are also given for this.
A large border will not come in handy for every thing, but still I want to somehow improve the appearance. In this case, a small border turns out to be ideal, which can be knitted from the same thread as the thing itself, or from yarn of a contrasting color. It is quite possible to decorate even a patterned knitted thing with such a border.
Video lesson:
We offer a master class on knitting a border. In every third loop of the knitted thing, a set of columns is made, which forms small neat semicircles. It turns out a simple, but very nice edging with a pattern of small semicircles.
This pattern can edging both solid and patterned, order the edges of plaids and shawls, sweaters and cardigans. He will add grace and airiness to any pattern of the main fabric, perfectly in harmony with any pattern of the basic knitting. The border has a wave width of three loops, is not too conspicuous and serves as a modest decoration.
