Pattern Directions for the Crochet Bookmark

Lace

Row 1: *ch4. Work a Tr3tog in the 4th ch from hook, but count the other 3 ch sts as the first tr. This means that you will start two other Tr sts, yo, and draw the loop through all three loops on your hook* repeat 5x

Row 2: ch4, start a Tr3tog into the 4th ch from the hook, counting the other three ch sts as a Tr, but do not yo and finish the stitch.

Go back to the ch st where your last finished Tr3tog is worked in, and work two more unfinished Tr, then do the same thing in the ch st before that (skipping over one more finished Tr3tog). Yo and draw the loop through all 7 loops on your hook.

*ch4, start a Tr3tog into the 4th ch from the hook, counting the other three ch sts as a Tr, but do not yo and finish the stitch.

Work two more unfinished Tr into the next ch in row 1, and then two more in the one following that. Yo and draw the loop through all 7 loops on your hook.*

Repeat until you have worked into the very edge of the row (in row 2, this means working into the very first ch you did again).

From there, ch4, start a Tr3tog, and work three more unfinished Tr into the very beginning of your work. Finish them all together to create a point. Bind off.

Create a tassel and add it to the end of your bookmark point. Weave in all your ends, and enjoy!
