Knitting - increasing/decreasing and fringing


Expert: Frances Rhea - 10/18/2009

Question
I am a new knitter and have a couple of questions.
1. How do I increase stitches on a row? I'm asking for both knitting and purling.
2. Same question above, only decreasing.
3. I'd like to make a shawl/rather wide scarf for myself and I'd like to add a fringe, but only to the ends. I don't want a fringe all the way around like a number of patterns call for.  How do I add fringe to the very ends only?

Thank you. I hope I didn't ask too much, but I'm really eager to know more about knitting.

Answer
Here is a link with knitting tutorials:

To add a fringe to only the ends, knit the whole scarf without any fringe. Then use this link to learn how to make fringe:

Hope this helps.
