TASSELS
Make 5 tassels of 48 strands, 14cm long when complete. Cut a piece of card 14cm x 8cm. Wrap the yarn around the card approximately 48 times and cut. Thread a new piece of yarn approximately 30cm long through the middle of the loops on the card and tie at the top. Slip the yarn off the card, insert your scissors into the loop and cut at the bottom. Tie another piece of yarn around all of the loops, approximately 4.5cm from the top.
Using the yarn going through the top of the loops, tie a tassel to the point of the hood and to each corner of scarf (see blocking diagram), weaving in ends.
