all lengths of thread together, fold in half. With right side of cross
facing, using crochet hook pull all loops of fold through st at very
bottom of cross, pull ends through lp and pull tight. Trim ends evenly.
Press cross with warm steam iron placing cloth between iron and piece
making sure all strands of tassel are lying flat and straight. For
French knot, take length of Star Green thread and with needle, pull
thread up through center intersection of cross pulling thread up from
back. Wrap thread 4 times around needle, put needle down through stitch
just to side of where thread came up through (so that knot will not pull
all the way through and will stay in place on front side of cross).
Pull thread slowly through to back being careful not to distort French
knot. Pull secure but don’t pull too tightly. Secure on back with
regular knot and trim ends close to knot on back side.
