Ingredients
- Bernat® Toasty™ yarn: 6 balls
- Crochet hook: U.S. J/10 (6 mm)
- Cardboard: 4½" wide, for making tassels
Instructions
- Make the foundation chain. Chain 121.
- Work the first row. Make 1 double crochet (dc) in the fourth chain from the hook, then make 1 dc in each of the next 5 chains. Chain 10, then slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the last dc to form a loop. Repeat this sequence to the end of the chain.
- Continue the rows. For each subsequent row, alternate between 1 single crochet (sc) in each dc and 1 dc in each sc, following the pattern’s row instructions. Continue until the piece measures 58".
- Form the chain loops. Pick up the loops from the second row and pull each loop through the previous loop to create the braided chain effect.
- Finish the final rows. Add the additional rows as stated in the pattern instructions, finishing with 1 dc in each sc.
- Make and attach 32 tassels. Wind yarn around the 4½"-wide cardboard. Tie the wound yarn securely, then wrap yarn around it to form the tassel shape. Attach the tassels to the crochet piece.
Notes
The supplied instructions do not specify how many loops to make per row, the precise sequence for all rows, or where to attach each tassel. Follow the original designer’s complete row and finishing instructions for those details rather than guessing.
