This is a fun fur type scarf with sparkle to it. The photos do not do it justice, and is gorgeous in person. HINT: Using a plain yarn along with a novelty yarn and using a large hook make it much easier to see the stitches.

• Tassels: wrap both yarns around a 6 1/2 inch piece of cardboard approximately 14-17 times, depending on how full you want your tassels. Make tassel as follows: After yarn has been wrapped around cardboard, place about a 12 in. piece of yarn underneath top strands of yarn and tie a knot to hold strands together. Take yarn off cardboard , and cut bottom of tassel, so ends will be loose. Cut another 12 in. piece of yarn, and wrap around top of tassel (about 1/2 inch below top of tassel) Wrap to hold in place, and tie knot. Weave short ends into middle of tassel, so they won't show. Trim ends of tassel, so they will be even. Attach tassels to each end of scarf. Weave in yarn ends with large eyed needle.
