Tassels
To make tassels on ends, cut 10 pieces of yarn each 14″ long. Pull the yarn half way through the end of the shawl and join it with the existing end, then make an overhand knot.
To make tassel on point, cut 8 pieces of yarn each 14″ long. Pull 4 pieces half way through the point on one side of the shawl and the other 4 half way through the point on the other side of the shawl. Join all the pieces of yarn together with the existing ends, then make an overhand knot.
Remaining tassels each hang from the center of the sets of 2 rows of Color A and Color E. Insert hook through the edge of the center of on of the stripes and pull the 4 surrounding ends through. Cut 4 pieces of yarn each 14″ long and pull them half way through the same spot. Make an overhand knot.
