Notes

Cast on with 10.5 needles in dark red mohair.
Bound off with 10.5 in cherry red mohair.
Knit the mohair rows with size 10 and the JaggerSpun with size 9 needles.

Cast on 300 sts for body and 40 sts for fringe. I ended up cutting half of the fringe off so 320 would have been enough I think.

Twisted three sts before and after the sm for the fringe to create that nice edging I saw others had.

Fun and fast knit. Did about 12 rows to 1.5 - 2 hrs.

Macramed the beginning of the fringe--
Knotted every 4 strands together. Separated each bundle into two and tied the twos into new knots with their next door neighbors. I did two rows.

I did the stripes by knitting two rows of mohair and then two rows of the jaggerspun.

The color gradient was made by knitting 12 repeats of dark red mohair (including cast on) and then 1 row of the cherry red in place of the dark red. Then two repeats of the dark red. Then two repeats of the cherry red. One last repeat of the dark red. Then 12 repeats of the cherry red (including bind off.)
