Making up

With blocking board and pins, pin out your

wall hanging, taking care to pin the peaks

and valleys of the chevrons out to make

them more defined. Gently steam with iron

or hairdryer, taking care not to touch the

fabric. Leave pinned until dry.

Fold first three rows of wall hanging over

knitting needle or length of wood/bamboo

and stitch in place using tapestry needle

and A. For hanging loop, chain 100 in C.

Fasten off. Tie to knitting needle/stick on

each side of wall hanging. Secure with small

amount of glue if desired.

Tassels

Cut 30cm lengths of each colour as follows;

14 strands each in A, B, & D and 15 in C.

Starting from the left edge of the bottom of

the wall hanging, attach 1 strand to each

stitch using a Lark’s Head Knot as follows;

7 in A, 7 in B, 7 in D, 15 in C, 7 in D, 7 in B,

7 in A.

Trim to lengths as shown in picture. Steam

tassels if required.
