ASSEMBLY:
Place triangles according to the diagram. With CD (or color used for edging) and wrong sides together, join motifs with sc, beg at any ch-3 corner, working the inside lps only. Complete one direction of diagonals first, then all the horizontals, then the opposite rows of diagonals. Be careful to make the corners of the triangles meet.
EDGING:
Work one row sc even spaced on each side – do not edging top and bottom. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
TASSELS:
Using the Susan Bates Trim tool, make tassels using three strands of CA, CB, and CC. Place the cut yarn through the corners of the indicated triangles. Tie the tassels at the neck securely with Royal blue. Cut the royal blue ties even with the tassel yarn. |
