Exegesis
The relative clause ’ăšer tĕkhasseh bāh {אֲשֶׁר תְּכַסֶּה־בָּהּ | ’ăšer tĕkhasseh bāh} functions as a restrictive modifier to kəsûtkāh {כְּסוּתְךָ | kəsûtkāh} ‘garment,’ clarifying that the tassels affix to the covering worn by the individual.
In context — Deuteronomy 22:12
You shall make tassels for yourself on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself.
