Pull tight to form a knot. Make fringe ½ inch apart along one narrow edge and two long edges. Then knot together 8 strands of 2 adjacent knots, 1 inch down from 1st row of knots. Continue thus along entire fringe. Make another row of knots in same manner 1 inch down from last row of knots. Work 2 rows of sc along remaining narrow edge for top of spread. Trim fringe.
