This is a pattern I created over 10 years ago (!!!). Since we’ve got a bookmark exchange going on now, I thought it was time to dust these off and get them re-posted. Sample shown original size and tatted using three strands of DMC embroidery cotton for both the shuttle and ball threads.

Cut embroidery cotton into lengths that are twice the length of the bookmark, fold over and join through Ring A.
love this bookmark, but I just don’t seem to be able to get it right – I get to the top, do the turn, and it seems to not match up coming back down the other side. Any chance you could email me a copy of the pattern – I have a sneaking suspicion that a couple of the lines have been left out or swapped around?
Hi Heather
Not sure what you mean about emailing you the pattern – that is the pattern! I did this many years ago now, there may be mistakes.
