Size 30 Cebelia makes a bookmark 2"
wide, by 6" long, plus the braided
tail. Make all picots very small
for nice joins. The first ring should be
made with the color you want on the
outside chains. Use two shuttles, two
colors. When you begin, leave
12" ends on both threads for finishing the split rings at the end.
Ring: 6 p 6. RW.
Chain: 8 p 10 p 5 p 1. RW.
SS (switch shuttles) join to p of ring. 6 p 10 p 8. RW.
*Ring: 6 (join to 3rd p of prev ch)
6.
Ring: 6 p 6. RW.
Chain: 8 p 10 p 5 p 1. RW.
SS. join to free p of ring. 6 join to 2nd p of first chain,
10 p 8. RW.
Continue from * until you have finished
the 24th ring. Make a split ring
6/6. Regular ring of 6p6, another
split ring 6/6, now start again with the
first ring. When you make your
chain, join to adjacent picot on the opposing chain.
When you get to the end, make similar
split ring, then use your thread
ends to make another split ring, use
all four threads to make the final ring,
(join as necessary) and then attach
more threads to make the tail.
Hints: Make sure your chains are
snug before you join or start a ring.
The symmetry and consistency of the
curve depends on a snug chain.
Heads up! This one is challenging,
even though it's only rings and chains.
Make sure you join your rings to the
right picot! I had two false starts
because of that reason. The bookmark
is also pretty in one color.
