Flower Tasseled Bookmark
by Terry McClary Art, Coffee, Words: terrymcclary.com These make great little gifts! Yarn in sample is Lily Sugar 'n Cream in Potpourri Using an E hook, chain 25. Do Linked Treble Across (see http://www.crochetme.com/linked-stitch-tutorial for the stitch instructions). Ch 3, turn. \*Skip next sc, sc, ch3, all the way around. Make sure to space it so you have a ch 3 space going around the corners with one in the center of each short end. Slip st the last ch3 to the base of the beginning chain three. Finish off, weave in ends. Flower tassels: For the first one, ch 18. Sl into the 7th chain from hook, ch6, sl back into the same space. Repeat until you have 5 petals. Finish of. For the second, ch 21, and follow the same instructions as the first tassel. Weave the ends behind the flowers in. Use the tails at the ends of the chains to tightly tie the tassels to the bookmark in the center of one short end, then weave in the ends.
I had to block it to get the loops and flowers to stay open nicely.
