Pass the hook under the end loop of the last row, fold four strands of the wool exactly in half and draw them a short distance through, forming a small loop; draw the eight strands right through this loop and pull gently, drawing the knot close up to the work. Repeat this into each of the other loops-along the end of the scarf, taking care that all tha knots are turned the same way. To knot the fringe, take four threads of the first tassel and four threads of the next one, and tie them together about an inch below the other knots; tie the remaining strands of the second tassel to four of the third one, and repeat to end of row, being careful to keep the knots quite level. Tie another row of knots an inch below these, but this time taking the eight strands of each tassel and tying them together. Fringe the other end of the scarf in the same way and cut the ends level with a pair of sharp scissors. Along each- side of the scarf work a row of double crochet, with * four chain picot at every fourth stitch.
