Comments: This one is an easy bookmark, useful exercise for crocheter starting with thread.

Size : 4 cm (1.5 inches) x 17 cm (7 inches) fringe not included.

Material : Pearl cotton # 8, hook 1.15 mm (Bates steel #9) ; you can substitute with Cebelia #20 or equivalent cordonnet thread (but the gauge can slightly vary)

Difficulty: easy

Stitches: ch, sc, dc, crab stitch

Start with 14 ch.

1. sc in 2nd ch from hook and in all other chs. 1 ch, turn

2. 4 dc, 3 ch, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc, 3 ch, 4 dc, 3 ch, sc in last sc. 3 ch, turn.

3. 4 dc in 3-ch sp, 3 ch, sc in 4th dc of next dc grp, 3 ch, sk a sp, 4 dc in next sp, 3 ch, sc in last sc. 3 ch, turn

4-30. Repeat Row 3. Do not cut thread, but proceed with edging.

Edge: Crab stitch all around the bookmark (3 sts in corner). Join in first st, cut thread.

Fringe (optional): Using a 6" cardboard piece, wrap thread 30 times around cardboard. cut thread on a side of cardboard, and distribute the 40 strands obtained in sps in one of shorter sides. Wrap a thread piece 5 times around tassel, knot and cut.

N.B.

• Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
  • first sc with 1 ch, sc;
  • first hdc with 2 ch;
  • first dc with 3 ch;
  • first tr with 4 ch... and so on;
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
• Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
