Let’s get started shall we? For today’s part of the CAL, you’ll just need some scissors and a tapestry needle.
- Begin by weaving in ends…try going in one direction with the tail, then in the other direction to help “lock” it into place. Also be sure to stay in the same color area with your tail (orange tail stays in the orange stripe area for example)
- If you would like to add tassels, I added one to each blanket corner.
- Begin by cutting two pieces of matching yarm each about 12 inches long.
- Wrap yarn around all four fingers, about 12 times.
- Tie yarn through at the top of the bundle and add a secure knot.
- Tie yarn around the bundle about 1/4 of the way down.
- Trim straight across at the bottom.
- Tie to the corner of the blanket.
- Repeat for other tassels.
That’s it! Enjoy your gorgeous fall blanket!
