FINI S H ING
Weave in ends.
Make 6 pompom and tassel units as follows:
Pompom (make 6):
Using largest ring on Boye® PomPom Maker, make
pompom according to instructions. If you don't have a
pompom maker, wrap yarn around 1.25" [3 cm] high
piece of cardboard approximately 30 times. Thread yarn
needle with 8" [20.5 cm] piece of yarn. Insert needle
between cardboard and yarn wraps at top edge. Tie yarn
tightly around all wraps. Cut wraps at opposite edge to
form pompom. Shake pompom to distribute yarn evenly.
Trim ends as needed.
Tassel (make 6):
Wrap yarn around cardboard 15 times. Slide a 15" [40 cm]
piece of yarn under the wrapped yarn and tie a knot at
the top leaving long tails to attach tassel to pompom and
scarf. Cut lower edge of wrapped yarn to free ends. Wind
a second piece of yarn around the tassel two or three
times about 1" [2.5 cm] below the top. Knot tightly. Thread
tails onto yarn needle and push to inside of tassel. Trim
ends to make even.
Tread tassel tails onto yarn needle and then insert into the
center of the pompom to form unit..
Attach three pompom and tassel units evenly spaced
onto each end of scarf. Weave in remaining tails.
