I recommend watching this tutorial on how to make perfect tassels every time. To keep color changes clean on the right side of your scarf, only change the color you’re working with at the beginning of a right side row.As you work this pattern, you’ll change the color you’re working with as desired, but no matter how many rows you work of a given color, sticking to your color sequence (A B C D E A B C D E A B C D E, etc.) helps ensure a consistent look.
