With the last stitch and using the crochet hook chain 13
stitches. Cut leaving a 10" tail. Using your choice of beads
thread them on.

Make tassel:

Cut approximately 25 strands of yarn about 4-5 " in length
(they will be trimmed later). Using the tail make a knot
around the tassel strands about halfway. Fold the tassel
strands in half. Using the tail bind folded tassel yarns
together by wrapping yarn tightly about 3/8" above fold.
Thread tail ed of yarn through tapestry needle, pull
through the bound tassel and secure inside with a knot.
Trim tassel ends evenly.
Weave in cast on end and block as desired.
