Center Surface Crochet (Optional): Leaving a strand of yarn hanging of the length that you want the fringe to be, attach the yarn around the end dc post of row 5 (center row of color A section).

Leave a strand of yarn at the end of the length that you want for fringe. I also added an additional fringe to this row in the contrast color.
Other Center Surface Crochet Row: Leaving a strand of yarn hanging of the length that you want the fringe to be, attach the yarn around the end dc post of row 18 (center row of the solid circles on the second color A section). Repeat the Center Surface Crochet instructions along this row.

Add fringe to the shawl short ends, in the length of fringe that you desire. The following link gives instructions and a photo showing how to add fringe: http://crochet.about.com/od/clothingforwomen/ss/swskscarf_4.htm
