Ribbons Bookmark

This bookmark was inspired by a bookmark made of satin ribbons I saw in a Bible at church. I thought to myself, I really should make one of those for the book of common prayer we use at church. So I designed this one made of thread.

Materials Needed
Small amount size 30 crochet cotton. Pastel variagated colors. Solid color can be used.
Size 11 steel crochet hook
Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

Thread Thickness: 30thread
Gauge: 14dc=1"
Finished Size: 12" long
Skill Level: Beginner

Instructions
Make 6 the same. Leaving a 12" end, ch102. Dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each chain across. Fasten off leaving another 12" end.

Bring all 6 "ribbons" together so that all of the ends are together as one thick strand. Tie all ends into a knot as close to the end of the crochet work as possible.

Divide the ends into 3 sections and braid them together to form a tail which is 4½" long. Tie another knot at the end of the braid. Cut the ends leaving a ½" tail from the knot.

Use each ribbon, to save a place in your book.

Keeping Track
This is one hint I really have used. I use a plastic bread tab to mark rows on an afghan. It helps me to keep count. So much cheaper than the commercial ones. You can use several and place one every 5 rows to keep track where you are in your pattern.
