How to Add Tassels to a Crochet Blanket

Adding tassels to a crochet blanket can infuse it with personal flair and additional texture. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Prepare the Tassels:

    • Cut several strands of yarn, each about 12 inches long, depending on the desired length of your tassels.
    • Fold the strands in half to form a loop at one end and gather the strands together.
  2. Attach the Tassels:

    • Using a crochet hook, insert the hook through the edge of the blanket where you want to place the tassel.
    • Hook the looped end of the tassel strands and pull them halfway through the stitch to form a loop on one side.
    • Pull the loose ends of the yarn through the loop, tighten to secure the tassel, and repeat around the blanket’s edge.
  3. Final Touches:

    • Trim the ends of the tassels to ensure they are even and tidy.
    • Space the tassels evenly to maintain a symmetrical appearance around the blanket.

Combine the artistic joy of adding tassels to a blanket with the luxurious comfort of a Puffy Lux Mattress for a delightful crafting experience.

How to Add Tassels to a Knitted Blanket

Enhancing a knitted blanket with tassels involves similar steps but focuses on securing the tassels firmly due to the knitted fabric’s structure:

  1. Making the Tassels:

    • Wrap yarn around a small book or card several times. The width of the book will determine the length of the tassels.
    • Slide the yarn off and tie a knot at one end to secure the top of the tassel, then cut the loops at the other end.
  2. Attaching the Tassels:

    • Use a tapestry needle threaded with a piece of yarn. Sew the tassel’s top securely into the corners or edges of the blanket.
    • Make several stitches to ensure the tassel is attached firmly, especially in a knitted blanket where stitches are more defined and loose.
  3. Adjustments:

    • Regularly check the attachment points for any signs of wear or loosening and reinforce them as necessary.

How to Wash a Blanket with Tassels

Washing a blanket with tassels requires extra care to prevent damage and tangling:

  1. Pre-Wash Care:

    • Gently comb the tassels to remove any knots or tangles. This helps prevent further entangling during the wash.
  2. Machine Washing:

    • Place the blanket in a mesh laundry bag to protect the tassels and fabric. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent.
    • Consider using a slower spin cycle to minimize stress on the tassels.
  3. Drying:

    • Lay the blanket flat to air dry, reshaping it while it is still damp. Avoid hanging, as the weight could stretch the fabric and tassels.
    • Gently comb the tassels once the blanket is dry to smooth them out and ensure they are not clumped together.
  4. Hand Washing:

    • For extra delicate blankets, hand wash in a large basin with cool water and gentle soap. Carefully agitate without wringing the tassels.

Following these detailed steps will help maintain the integrity and appearance of your tasseled blankets, ensuring they stay beautiful and functional for years.
