At last, you have finished your beautiful crochet blanket. You are considering the border, so what’s it to be? Crochet or tassels or a bit of both? For me its tassels, always tassels. I love the swish, swish of the tassels when you move. In this post you can see I chose tassels for the finish on my chunky Poncho

Back to the blanket border. I thought I would share with you how I finished my last crocheted winter blanket, with a knotted tassel Border. Full directions with photos below, scroll on! In a nutshell you attach lengths of yarn with your hook and then divide them up and not each divided group to its neighbour, Take a look . . .


How To make a Knotted Taselled Border with a tassel edging on a crochet blanket:

  • 1: First decide how long you want your fringe to be. Find a book with roughly this width or height.
  • 2: Wrap your yarn around the book and cut off on one side only.
  • 3: Divide into groups of six this will allow you a tassel of 12 lengths.
  • 4: Fold one group of six in half,
  • 5: Using a chunky crochet hook, (I used 10mm) put your hook through a space and pull your loop of yarn through.
  • 6: Tighten the knot, by pushing it up,

For The Knotted Tassel Border

  • 7: Divide the tassel you have just attached in half 6 on each side and do the same with each adjacent tassel.
  • 8: Knot adjacent tassels to each other, continue in this way along the line.
  • 9: Make sure to tighten all knots by pushing them upwards and space them evenly before tightening.
  • 10; Comb out and trim the fringing. You can also use a Rotary cutter and a metal ruler for even greater accuracy
