Flowery Bookmark

Here is Jane Eborall's lovely Flowery Bookmark.  I have made it for a friend and it is going in a package I am preparing today.



This pattern involves self-closing mock rings and split rings.  The first time I tried it, it was quite a challenge for me to complete it (I had never made self-closing mock rings before!).  Even this time around, I had to start twice as I made a mistake early on in the pattern.  But I really like it, particularly the way the green leaves wind their way around the flowers.

Best wishes,

    Thank you very much! It was the first time I thought of mixing the threads in the tassel and was pleased with how this turned out. It was also the first time I tried a spiral chain and I really like it! Will definitely be using it again.

    I have started this pattern twice and messed up. I will keep trying until I succeed. This is one of the prettiest bookmark patterns I've ever seen!
