Tassels
The tassels on mine is made of artisan mohair in the same color as the acrylic/wool blend to add some texture. The strings are looped in half, pulled though the open work of the scarf along the diagonal edge and then pulled through the folded top and pulled tight. Tassels are cut in varying lengths.
Lovely scarf! And FANTASTIC name for it! ;) I suppose I'll have to really buckle down and try to crochet it, won't I?
