Row 1 and 3: Slip 1, Purl 1, *Knit 2, Purl 2* until end
Row 2 and 4: Slip 1, Knit 1, *Purl 2, Knit 2* until end

Row 6: Slip 1, Knit 1, *Purl 2, Knit 2 Tog as above*until last two stitches, Knit 2

Continue this until 5 feet or desired length.
Then tassle the heck out of it - I did 9 times on each side to be exact
