Chart 1

With the Natural yarn, start with a magic ring.

1st rnd: start with 3 ch, 11 dc. Join with sl st.

2nd rnd: start with 3 ch, 23 dc. Join with sl st.

Continue following Chart 1, working in circular rounds. Make 40 tassels, 10 of each color.

Tassel: Wrap the yarn around the rectangular cardboard base 50 times, carefully remove the yarn from the base, and tie the tassel by passing a piece of yarn through the center of the strands—this will be the top part. Tie the tassel again, looping all the strands, leaving a 0.8 in. (2 cm) space from the top. Cut the strands at the bottom.

Join the tassels to the placemat in the last round with sc, following Chart 1.

Make 2 identical pieces.
