Finishing

Weave in ends and block to measurements. Don’t try to block the ends or sides straight; let the natural wavy edge of the fabric show.

Add fringe

Using remaining yarn, cut 80 lengths of yarn each 12” long. For each tassel, fold two lengths in half and use a crochet hook to pull the folded end through the eyelets at each end of the wrap. Pass the ends of the yarn through the loop and pull to secure each tassel. If necessary, trim each tassel so all the strands are the same length.
