Tassel
Using CC and a 10cm (4inch) piece of card, wrap the yarn around 12 times.
Cut a 31cm (12inch) length of CC and pull one end through the top of the tassel and tie a knot to create the tassel hanger. Remove tassel from card.
Using CC secure tail end around the top of the tassel below the knot.
Wrap the yarn around the top of the tassel 10-12 times or to your liking. Cut the yarn, secure with a knot and hide tail end by passing it down into the tassel.
With scissors, cut the bottom of the tassel where it’s currently still folded. Trim the tassel to your liking.
