Today we'll be finishing up our wrap, weaving in the ends and adding a tassel (optional):

• To make the tassel as shown, Cute two pieces of yarn, each about 8-10 inches long.
• If you have used up all of your yarn, you can use a different yarn in a matching color for the tassel too.
• Wrap yarn around your hand about 19 or so times around all four fingers.
• Carefully slide the yarn bundle off of your hand.  
• Take the first strand of yarn you cut and tie at the top of the bundle.
• Take the second strand and tie around the top of the bundle towards the top.
• Cut all bottom loops.
• Trim bottom fringe straight across.
• Add tassel to bottom point of wrap.  I used a tapestry needle to add the tassel.
