Instructions for the Elegant Lace Crochet Bookmark
Ch 15, start from the 2nd ch from the hook
R2: ATC, 1 dc in 3 sts, Skip 2 chs, Shell stitch (5 dc in same ch), ch 2, skip 3 chs, 1 dc in 4 sts, turn.
Push all chain loops to the front side.
R3: ATC, 1 dc in 3 sts, skip the next ch-2 sp and 1 dc. Into the next stitch (2nd DC) work the Shell stitch (5 dc in same st), ch 2, skip 3 chs, 1 dc in 4 sts, turn
Repeat R3 till you reach 7 inches in height
For the tassel, cut 6 inch yarn stripes. I cut 15 pieces. Fold them in half and wrap the same yarn around the area towards the fold about 4-5 times, fasten off and attach the tassel to the pointy area of the bookmark.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
