FRINGE TASSELS
Cut nine 24”/61cm lengths of each CC and fifty-five 24”/61cm lengths of MC.
Attach each length to the corresponding colors along the short edge of the blanket opposite the side where all of the tails were left using larks head knots. To do so, fold a length in half and use the crochet hook to pull the folded loop through a space along the edge, then draw the ends of the strands through the loop to create the larks head knot.
Once all fringe is attached, gather the strands that make up one 12 row color section and tie them together with an overhead knot. Repeat for each section along both ends of the blanket. Trim tassels to desired length.
