Notes:
Before beginning, determine if you want to carry the colors up the left side as you work or if you will by tying in. I did not carry which resulted in MANY ends that would have needed to be woven in had I not worked them into my tassels. If you don’t want to add tassels and don’t want to vertically carry the strands as you work be prepared to weave in more ends than you would care to admit.
