Crocheted Shawl with Unique Fringe

What do you think of this crocheted shawl? The shawl pattern itself looks simple and ordinary. However, I love the idea of the fringe. It’s different from the normal fringe that I normally see. It’s a very clever idea to make clover motifs as fringe. I think this idea only works if you use DK weight yarn. I don’t think it looks nice if you use tread. Do you agree with me?
