All the patterns call for 4 strands of yarn held together. The difference between the different patterns is whether you have 2 strands of 1 color and the other 2 strands are different colors or you have 4 different color strands.

Because of the texture of Homespun, the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or Fray CheckTM by DritzĀ®.
