Using 2 strands of yarn only for each stripe instead of 4 strands, weave yarn under all White sts and over all other sts weaving lengthwise, starting under the s c row at beginning and ending under s c row at end.

Using 1 strand, double in half and knot through each st on each side where White or Black fringe does not occur. Tack long loops on right side at center if desired.
