I couldnt resist this as a title. Sounds like an organization. But its really a good tip. I started thinking if there was something I could do with all these yarn tails I was throwing away. A multicolored tassel just sounds too cute. Ive been saving my tails for a while and never realized how many I accumulated. When I have enough I am for sure using it for a scarf tassel. I hope this was helpful for you guys. Its simple but probably no one really thought about it. Thanks for coming back and watching.

This is a re-do video. My first video for this uploaded almost 3 years ago, May 22, 2012, has over 1 million views and I figured it was time for a re-do. I also have a cool tip to add to working this stitch, that might help a lot of people. This stitch tends to get tight and is hard to work when that happens. Using two different needle sizes helps. Hope you guys enjoy. Thanks for coming back and watching! Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoWPtoaG1T4 Items Used: Clover Bamboo Straight Needles size 9 (5.5mm) & 8 (5mm) Caron Simply Soft Yarn in Hot Pink NOTE: When using different size needles. Cast on and work purl rows with your larger needle. Use smaller needle for the pattern rows with the P3tog. TIP: Weather youre using different size needles or the same, always work this pattern loosely. Its a very tight stitch, so work your stitches loose throughout the whole pattern. INSTRUCTIONS Cast on multiples of 4 sts Row 1 (wrong side): *(K1, P1, K1) all in next st, P3tog; rep from * across. Row 2 & 4: Purl. Row 3: *P3tog, (K1, P1, K1) all in next st; rep from * across. Repeat Rows 1 through 4 to form pattern. Abbreviations: K = knit P = purl P3tog = purl next 3 stitches together rep = repeat RS = right side st(s) = stitch(es)$
