Lacet Trellis Bookmark

Lacet Trellis Bookmark Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This bookmark is fairly easy to make for people who have had some experience in crocheting with thread. But you do not need to be an expert to figure this one out. It starts out as a circle then you work in rows to make it long, then you work around the whole piece to finish it off. You could make several in a couple of evenings. This one took me about 2 hours to complete.

Materials Needed:
Small amount size 10 crochet cotton. Southmaid in red was used in the example
Size 7 steel crochet hook
Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

Thread Thickness: 10thread
Gauge: 10sc=1"
Finished Size: 8"x2½"
Skill Level: Beginner to intermediate

Instructions
Starting Round: Ch6, join w/slst to first ch to form ring. Ch1. 17 sc in ring. Join w/slst ch1.

You will now work in rows.
ROW 1: Ch5. Dc in same st as slst. Ch2. Sk next sc. Dc, ch2, dc in next sc. Ch2. Dc, ch2, dc in next sc. Ch5, turn.

ROW 2: Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in next dc. Ch2. Sc in next ch2 sp. ch2. Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in 3rd ch of ch5. Ch5, turn.

ROW 3: Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in next dc. Ch5. Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in 3rd ch of ch5. Ch5, turn.

ROW 4: Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in next dc. Ch2. Sc in next ch5 sp. Ch2. Dc in next dc. Ch2. Dc in 3rd ch of ch5. Ch5, turn.

ROW 5-24: Rep rows 3 & 4 consecutively. You will end with row 4.

Perimeter of bookmark
Treat each row as a ch3 space and treat the top 2 corners as a ch5 corner sp.
Ch3. 5dc in first ch5 corner sp. Sc in next ch3 sp. (5dc in next ch3 sp. Sc in next ch3 sp. eleven times)

Now you will work on the starting ring. Sc in first unworked sc. Ch5. Sk next sc. Sc in next sc. Ch5. Sk next sc. Sc in next sc. Dc, in next sc. Ch5. Dc in next dc. Sc in next sc. Ch5. Sk next sc. Sc in next sc. Ch5. Sk next sc. Sc in next sc.

You should now be at the other side. Sc in first ch3 sp of right hand side of bookmark. (5dc in next ch3 sp. Sc in next ch3 sp. eleven times) 5dc, ch2, 5dc in next ch5 corner sp. Sc in next ch2 sp. Sk next ch2 sp. 2dc, ch3, 2dc in next sc. Sk next ch2 sp. Sc in next Ch2 sp. 5dc in next ch5 corner sp. Ch2. Join w/slst to top of ch3.

Fasten off and weave all ends into back of work.
