Tassels (Make 2): Cut eighty 8” long strands of yarn and two 16” long strands. Put shorter strands tog and tie in the center with one longer strand. Thread ends of long strand into tapestry needle; insert ends into cast-on end of scarf and through second narrow stripe from the inside out. Pull tassel into sewn end of scarf so that cast-on end of scarf fits down over top of tassel. Wrap ends of strand in tapestry needle around scarf several times and fasten off securely. Pull end of scarf down over top of tassel as far as possible. Wrap second 16” long strand around first narrow stripe tightly and fasten off securely. The cast-on end of scarf will roll back slightly giving the appearance of a ruffled edge. Repeat on the bound-off end of scarf with second tassel.
