Insert your hook to the back through the gap before the post of the hdc st specified, bring it back to the front through the gap after the post, pull up a loop, YO, and pull through 2 loops to complete a fpsc.

Adding Tassels
Note: Attach tassels on the Right side of the scarf. You can choose whichever side you like as your Right side.
I used a small book to make tassels. You can also substitute a thick 5.75-inch-wide cardboard for the book. Wrap the yarn multiple times around the small book or your cardboard. Cut along one side to get many strands of the same length.
Take 3 strands, fold at the middle of the strands, and pull through the edge of the crochet scarf to form a loop, grab the ends with your hook, and pull through the loop (see pic above). Now tug gently to tighten the loop.
First, add a tassel in each corner st, then add one in every 3rd st. Repeat on both edges of your scarf.
Finishing
Weave in any tails left along the wrong side of the scarf.
