         5 . The fabric of  claim 1 , wherein a net weight of the fabric ranges from 45 grams to 100 grams. 
     
     
         6 . The fabric of  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the fabric and a circumference of the hole are sealed or fused to prevent unraveling of the fabric. 
     
     
         7 . The fabric of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a decorative print on the fabric. 
 
     
     
         8 . The fabric of  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the fabric includes a decorative cut comprising one of a scallop cut, a zig-zag cut, and a fringe cut. 
     
     
         9 . A method of knitting the fabric of  claim 1  to create a decorative accessory comprising:
 casting on a plurality of holes by inserting a knitting needle from a front of the fabric to a back of the fabric through the plurality of holes; 
 knitting a plurality of rows; 
 binding off the fabric near an end of the fabric; and 
 weaving in an end of the fabric. 
 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the step of casting on a plurality of holes ranges from three holes to five holes. 
     
     
         11 . A method of knitting a decorative accessory comprising:
 obtaining a fabric including a plurality of holes arranged in a row along a length of the fabric;   using a knitting needle to cast on a plurality of holes by inserting the knitting needle from front to back through the holes;   using the knitting needle to knit a plurality of rows from the cast on row;   binding off near an end of the fabric; and   weaving in an end of the fabric.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the length of the fabric ranges from 1 yard to 100 yards and a width of the fabric ranges from ½ inch to 1 foot 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a spacing between each adjacent hole of the plurality of holes ranges from a ½ inch to a foot. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the length of the fabric equals 32 yards, a width of the fabric equals 2 inches, and the spacing between adjacent holes equals 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the fabric comprises at least one of acrylic, polyester, nylon, silk, cotton, and wool. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a net weight of the fabric ranges from 45 grams to 100 grams. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein an edge of the fabric and a circumference of the holes are sealed or fused to prevent unraveling of the fabric. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the fabric includes a decorative print. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein an edge of the fabric includes a decorative cut comprising one of a scallop cut, a zig-zag cut, and a fringe cut.
