Nott’s County Scarf 2022 - Tassels

 Nott’s County Scarf 2022 - Tassels

It is a long time since I have added Tassels to anything. First thing to sort was the Colour. After checking the Nottingham County Football Club site I discovered the Tassels are White not Black.

6.5 Inches

 

I needed a decent amount of Yarn for the Tassels. I found an old Chalk Board. I turned it on its side and the length was 6.5 Inches.

Wound Yarn

 

I wound the Yarn around the Board in Strands of 4 until I reached the End.

Cut Along Edge

 

I cut along the Edge of the Board so I now a group of pieces of Yarn ready for use.

Hook through Back

 

I don’t Crochet but I do have a couple of Hooks I use for jobs like this. I pushed the Hook through from the Back of the Scarf.

Add Yarn to Hook

 

I took 2 of the Strands folded them and placed them on the Hook

Pull Yarn through

 

I gently pulled the Hook through the Knitting making sure that the Yarn didn’t slip off. This made a Loop.

Thread Ends Through

I then slipped the 4 Strands through the Loop keeping them even.

Pull Tight

 

Next I Pulled the Loop Tight. I then repeated the process on the other End. I continued this process working towards the Centre. Then I trimmed up the Ends to make sure they were all even.

Danny Scarf

All that was left was to model it. Here is Danny wearing the Scarf. It is a slightly older style but the Length looks good on him and it is very warm. He seems very happy with his Christmas Present and that in the end is the whole point of Hand Knitted Gifts.

Continuing on from Out of Zone Mask 2020

I couldn’t just stop at the Mask. I had to Accessorise. I had tonnes of Copper Wire already Plaited so all I needed was the inspiration.

Copper and Cog

 

I hadn’t used all the Cogs up on the Mask as sometimes less is more. The little beauty in the above photograph was dying to be used.

I therefore made a Knot in one end of the Wire and slipped it through one of the Cogs holes.

First Washer 

The next part was slightly trickier. I Looped the Wire through the Washer and pulled firm. I had to undo and redo this several times to get the Distance that I wanted between the Cog and the Washer. I then ran the Wire under its back then Looped it again around the other side.

Second Washer

 

Now I had one Washer in Place I repeated the process with another Washer. I am not putting any more on since they are metal and I don’t want it to be too heavy.

Earring Hoop

 

Earring Hoops were the one thing I didn’t have so I ended up buying a job lot off eBay. I sorted out which colour looked best then slipped the Wire through the Hole. I then Cut the Wire and Wound it back upon itself.

I made the other one and tried them on. They weren’t only still pretty light but also looked Fabulous!
