OPTIONAL FRINGE OR TASSELS.
At this point, you have the option of adding fringe or tassels to the end of the scarf for an added detail. If you were gifting it to a guy I think leaving the fringe off would be best. Tassels and fringe would be great for a lady!

Edit to my previous comment: i found the mistake, and it was mine. Alough i was skipping stiches and coming back to them in the right order, i waz still putting the wrong ones in front. Pattern is good! Just user error.
