BORDER:

Continuing from the last ch 1 (not turning):

Reverse single crochet around entire runner. Work a rsc in approximately each sp.

Working from left to right (reverse), insert hook in next sp working from front to back, yo and pull through for 2 loops on hook, yo and pull through both loops for a sc.

Tie off.

TASSELS

Using any object about 6 inches long, wind yarn around object to create a fairly thick tassel.

Using hook, take a length of yarn about 10 inches long and pull through one side of wound yarn.

Slide the yarn to top of tassel and tie securely.

Slide tassel off of the object. Take another length of yarn about 12 inches long and place the tassel on top of strand. Strand should be about 1.5 inches from top. Tie securely. Strands can be incorporated into tassel.

With right side facing you attach tassel. Insert hook from underneath the point. Grab one tie (top) strand and pull through sp. Flip tassel out of the way and tie the two strands to secure the tassel.

TIP: If you intend to wash the runner, do not wash the tassels. This will require you to attach the tassels so they are removable. I suggest tying a bow rather than a knot. Slip the bow strands into the top “bulb” of the tassel to hide.
