Tassels
In addition to the yarn bits you’ll need: beads, a beading needle, and heavy upholstery thread or beading thread (I like using the heavy thread in a matching color).
Cut the yarn long enough to be more than double the final length of the tassel (I used four strands of about 7 inches in each tassel).
String a length of beads about 3.5 inches long, skip the last bead on the strand and bring the beading needle back up through the rest of the beads. Leave two long thread tails at the top. (I made five bead strands for each tassel.)
Arrange bead strands so the two lengths of thread from each are split into two groups, and tie the lengths around middle of the yarn strands.
Use small bits of yarn to tie around tassels about a half inch from the top. Alternatively, you could thread a very large bead on the thread ends, then secure it by tying a small bead above that.
Trim yarn strands even at the bottom of the tassels (being careful not to cut the beaded strands).
Tie tassels on to scarf using thread ends, or tie them to a small clip for easy removal for washing.
