If fringe is desired, pre-cut 140 pieces of14-inch yarn. I used aF-inch square piece of cardboard, and wrapped the yarn around it. cut yarn at the bottom edge. Set far aside where cats and kids can't get into it. Finish scarf. Use five pieces of pre-cut yarn, if you can still find them, for each tassel. Fold in half and attach at ends of scarf at each ridge. Trim edges even.

Pre-cut 50 pieces of14-inch yarn. Use five pieces of yarn, folded in half, for each tassel, placing one tassel at the end of each color stripe on both ends of scarf.
