Weave in or makt Wash and block... I wash in hot water and pin it to a Styrofoam block to dry. After drying, I use a hot steam iron and press under a cloth. Some use a light spray of starch to give it more substance.. You can use all kinds of decorative tassels or silk ribbons to dress it up. TIP: You can make this bookmark as long as you want, just by adding more links by repeating the pattern. That way, if you have a special book, like a large coffee table book, you canmake this bookmark tosize. Inis patern makes an excepuonaiy nice gift for tnose pook lover Irienas. I nave maae everal as gifts for their special family bibles. I love hearing from people who knit my patterns, and welcome ALL comments!
