Step-5

Taking one tassel (2 strands), fold in half, the insert in the bottom stitches of your granny square, making a lark's head knot by passing the ends of the tassel through the middle of the folded tassel, and pulling to secure.

Step-6

Space out your tassels in every other stitch along the bottom of one side of your granny square, stating at the edge with the 40cm, then placing a longer tassel each time until you have a 75cm tassel in the middle. Now work along the square placing shorter and shorter tassels until you reach the other side.

Step-7

To attach to stick or dowel: Cut one length of yarn approx. 65 cm long, and tie to one end of your dowel or stick, now tightly wrap around dowel and through each chain 2 space on the top edge of your granny square, until you reach the other side. Tie tightly to dowel.

Step-9

Taking one set of 6, fold in half again, placing the halfway point over the top of your stick to the side of your granny square. This will give you 12 lengths of yarn hanging down to plait with. Form a plait, with the three parts of the plait each being 4 strands worked together. Repeat this on the other side of the stick. Tie your plaits to close them.

Step-10

Trim any tassels or plaits to suit, and enjoy!
