Materials:
- 4.0 mm "G" crochet hook
- Whims Merino Superwash DK in the "red" colorway, note: I used a small amount from the hank, only about a quarter of the total yardage.
- Tapestry Needle
- Scissors
- Tape Measure
- Optional: Beads and bead needle
Sizing:
- 8 inches tall
- 2.5 inches wide
- Fringe adds another 2-2.5 inches to length of total
Instructions:
Ch 11 (to change the width, use a multiple of 4+3)
Repeat row 2 until bookmark is about 8 inches tall. Weave in any ends. If you like you can block your bookmark to really open up that lace, check out my video tutorial below:
Add fringe along bottom edge and add beads to ends of fringe strands if needed.
Row 1: In the 5th ch from the hook work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc). *Skip 3 chains and in the chain after that, work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc), repeat from * across until 2 chains remain. Skip a ch, then in the last ch, work 1 dc.
Row 2: Ch 3 and turn. Work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in each ch 1 space from the previous row (center of each fan). Work a dc into the turning chain space.
Repeat row 2 until bookmark is about 8 inches tall. Weave in any ends. If you like you can block your bookmark to really open up that lace, check out my video tutorial below:

ReplyDeleteThis was SUPER easy to crochet thank you for sharing. I love it! ��
ReplyDeleteI made it! So cool. Thank you! As a novice, I'm not sure how to decrease the width of this pattern. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this bookmark!! I read so much that it's almost criminal and I love, love, love bookmarks. I make them out of ribbon with double-sided bias tape between them and it stiffens them very nicely. Now I can use crochet as well!!
