After each knot has been created, push it up to create the loops on either side. Continue creating square knots and increasing the space in between each one until you have 6 knots in total.
Now trim all of the lengths to approx. 5cm and unravel the cord.

Insert scissors at one end and cut the strings.
When you have finished, lay out the tassels in the way you want them to hang. When you are happy, take an extra length of yarn and tie a gathering knot around all of the ends.
