There are 16 tassels (tzitzit strings) on a tallit - four attached to each corner - but it looks like 32. Why? Because when the four tzitzits are inserted into each corner one end of each string hangs down one side and the other end hangs down the other side, so that a casual glance reveals eight strings on each corner, when in fact there are just four. For a detailed explanation of how tzitzits are tied, see "Do-It-Yourself Tzitzit Tying" in the related links:
