How To Crochet A tassels
Materials Needed:
- Two colors of cotton yarn
- Two crochet hooks (2.5 mm and 2 mm)
- Scissors
- Sewing needle
- Cardboard (9 to 10 cm wide)
Steps:
- Prepare the Yarn:
- Wrap the yarns around the cardboard 60 times if you’re using one color.
- If using two colors, wrap the yarns around the cardboard 10 times with the first color, then 10 times with the second color, alternating until you reach a total of 60 wraps.
- Cut the Yarn:
- Cut the yarns on one side after wrapping.
- Lay the cut yarns flat on the table and find the middle.
- Tie the Yarn:
- Knot a piece of yarn around the middle of the wrapped yarns securely.
- Leave the two ends of this yarn hanging.
- Create the Cap:
- Wrap a second piece of yarn around the top of the bundle, about three times, and knot it securely.
Crocheting the Cap:
- Start with the Thicker Crochet Hook (2.5 mm):
- Make a magic ring.
- Crochet 9 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
- Pull the yarn to close the ring.
- Finish the round with a slip stitch into the first stitch.
- Second Round:
- Chain 1 at the beginning of the round.
- Increase stitches by crocheting one sc in the first two stitches, then two sc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round.
- You should have 12 stitches at the end.
- Finish with a slip stitch.
- Next Four Rounds:
- For the next four rounds, crochet one single crochet in each stitch.
- Chain 1 at the beginning and finish each round with a slip stitch.
- Final Round:
- Switch to the thinner crochet hook (2 mm).
- Chain 1 and crochet one single crochet in each stitch.
- Finish with a slip stitch and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
Assemble the Tassel:
- Attach the Cap to the Tassel:
- Thread the hanging yarn ends from the middle of the yarn bundle through the magic ring at the bottom of the crocheted cap.
- Pull the yarn ends through the cap and snug the cap up to the top of the tassel.
- Secure the Cap:
- Sew the last stitch through the first stitch (from front to back through both loops).
- Sew the yarn end back through the last stitch (only the back loop) from front to back.
- Finish the Tassel:
- Cut the yarn ends to your desired length for the tassel.
- Smooth and trim the tassel to make it even.
