Today we’ll be focusing on topping those pretty points on the top of the blanket with fun tassels, then we’ll move onto the finish work!
How To Make A Tassel:
- Make one per point on the top and bottom edges of the blanket.
- Cut two pieces of yarn, each about 12 inches long. Set aside. Wrap yarn around all four fingers for a total of about 40 wraps. Thread one piece of yarn into the top of the bundle and tie it securely. Tie a second piece of yarn around the top of the bundle, about 1/4 of the way down, tucking in ends. Cut loops from the bottom of the tassel. Trim across to neaten. Repeat for each tassel.
When you have finished adding tassels to each point, weave in all ends and it’s done!
