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.

Random Quick Tip!

The Cranberry Sauce Slides Right Out
I do this myself whenever I open a can of cranberry sauce. Open the can as you normally would then turn it upside down and break the seal on the other end either with the sharpe end of a bottle opener or your can opener. (This releases the pressure in the can.) Then shake it just a little and the cranberry should just slide out. It works best when the can is at room tempurature. You can then put it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until it is time to serve it. It is great time saver.
