1st row—Make 1, knit 2 together, knit 1. Repeat until the same length is made as the straight side of the colored stripes.
To Join the Stripes—Amber wool and crochet needle. Make a chain stitch, take one of the Magenta stripes and work a single stitch on the 1st stitch of it, keep the loop on the needle. Take a black stripe, put the needle into the 1st loop at the side of it, bring the amber through, and also through the loop on the needle. Put the needle into the next loop at the side of the colored stripe, taking two folds of the wool to make it firm, bring the amber wool through, and also through the loop on the needle; continue working a single stitch alternately on each stripe until they are joined. The other stripes are joined in the same manner; when finished, with amber wool work a row of 1 chain and 1 single up one side of the last stripe, then along the top work a single row, and down the other side 1 chain and 1 single, then a single row along the other end.
The Fringe—Cut the wool in lengths of 8 inches, and loop it into the single row, putting in a black loop and a loop the same color as the stripe alternately along each point.
