Notes

Want 20 inches around. If gauge is 5 SPI, that means 100 stitches. Knit sample - want 90 sts around.
Start and end with dark stripe. Want yellow stripes slightly taller. Pattern calls for 24 and 28 rows. 19 stripes total - 10 dark, 9 light. (240+252 rows = 492. If 8 rows per inch, that’s 61.5”, or slightly over 5 feet). Sounds good.

Take 3:
Cast on 80 sts on size 8 needles with long tail CO. Switch to size 6 needles. 24 rows red/26 rows yellow. Yellow on size 7 needles; red on size 6.

Tassels: 11 tassels - 40 sts wide = 3.63 sts per tassel. 80 sts if use Vs and ^s. 7.27 per tassel. Prefer the 2nd. 7 x 11 = 77. Just skip one at outside edge and center. So seven strands per tassel. Start and end with red tassels. 6 tassels x 7 strands each = 42. Two ends = 84. Cut 84 strands of red at 10” each. Cut 168 strands of yellow at 10” each.
