Difficulty: moderate

Stitches: ch, sc, dc, crab stitch, shell (=( dc, ch, dc) in same st)

Start with 91 ch.

1. Dc in 4th ch, 1 ch, dc in same ch, * sk 2 ch, shell in next ch *. Repeat * to * 27 times =>29 shells. 3 ch, turn;
2. (shell in next 1-ch sp) 3 times, * ( 5 ch, sk a shell, dc in 1-ch sp of next shell) twice, (dc in next st) 6 times, 5 ch, sk a shell, dc in next shell, 5 ch, sk a shell *, (shell in next shell) 5 times; repeat once again from * to *, (shell in next shell) 3 times. 3 ch, turn;
3. (shell in shell) 3 times, *5 ch, dc in next dc, 5 dcs in 5-ch sp, * dc in next dc, repeat once again from * to *, (shell in shell) 5 times; repeat twice again from * to *; (shell in shell) 3 times; 3 ch, turn;
4. (shell in shell) 3 times, * 5 dc in next 5-ch sp, (dc in next dc, 5 ch) 3 times, 5 dc in next 5-ch sp*, (shell in shell) 5 times; repeat once again from * to *, (shell in shell) 3 times. 3 ch, turn;
5. (shell in shell) 3 times, *5 ch, dc in next dc, 5 dcs in 5-ch sp, * dc in next dc, repeat once again from * to *, (shell in shell) 5 times; repeat twice again from * to *; (shell in shell) 3 times; 3 ch, turn;
6. (shell in shell) 3 times, *5 ch, dc in next dc, 5 ch, dc in next dc, 5 ch, sk 5 dcs, dc in next dc, 5 dcs in next 5-ch sp, dc in next dc, 5 ch, sk 5 dc, dc in next dc 5 ch*, (shell in shell) 5 times; repeat once again * to *, (shell in shell) 3 times; 3 ch, turn;
7. (shell in shell) 3 times, *(shell in 3rd ch of next 5-ch sp, shell in next dc) twice, (sk 2 dc, shell in next dc) twice, shell in 3rd ch of next 5-ch sp, shell in next dc, shell in 3rd ch of next 5-ch sp*, (shell in shell) 5 times; repeat * to * once again; (shell in shell) 3 times. Do not cut thread, but proceed with edging.

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

Tassel (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.
