Garland Tassels
Make 4
Tassels are 5.5” length
I used a DVD case to make my tassels.
Turn the case sideways and wrap the yarn around the case 25 times.
Slip off of case and tie a 12” piece of yarn 1” from the top. I used a large hook to hold my loops.
Cut the bottom loops of the tassel and steam, or use a hair dryer on high to remove the wrinkles in the yarn and trim straight.
Insert a 12” piece of yarn through the top loops and tie a knot leaving approximately ½” loop. Using a needle pull the ends of the strand through the center of the tassel and trim to length.

With 2 strands of yarn and a 5.0mm hook
Leaving a 10” beginning tail, Make a Slip knot, SC into the top loop of the first tassel, (insert hook into the top loop, Yarn over and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook). Chain 25, SC into the top loop of the first star, *CH 25, SC into the top loop of tassel, CH25, SC into the top loop of star*, repeat from * to *, CH 25, SC into top loop of last tassel. F/O leaving a 10” tail at the end.
