Tassels (make 7)

Cut a piece of cardboard 12.5 cm wide. Wrap the thread around the cardboard 40 times. Break off leaving a long end and thread it through the needle. Pull the needle through all the hook loops firmly. Remove the cardboard and wrap the thread tightly around the loops 1 inch below the fold. Fixed firmly.

Cut through the remaining loops and trim the ends evenly. Sew a tassel to each “corner” along the edge of the blanket as shown in the image.
