Used In Edging: How To SC Around A DC Post - http://crochet.about.com/library/blscdpost.htm
How To Slip Stitch (sl st) = Insert hook in stitch, wrap yarn over hook, pull yarn through the stitch and through the loop on the hook, at the same time.
Adding The Edging: (with right side of the bookmark facing you) attach thread around first dc post on long edge of bookmark, slip stitch around same post, ch 1, 2 sc around same post, sl st around same post. Continue in the same manner, working (sl st, 2 sc, sl st) around each dc post, until you reach the end of the first long edge of the bookmark. Next, ch 1, sc in first sc on short edge, ch 2, sc in next sc, * sl st in next sc, sc in next sc, ch 2, sc in next sc, ** repeat the directions between * and ** four more times, then sl st in last sc, ch 1, then continue in the same manner as before along the other long edge of the bookmark, working (sl st, 2 sc, sl st) around each dc post, until you reach the end of this long edge of the bookmark. Next, ch 1, sc in first sc on short edge, ch 2, sc in next sc, * sl st in next sc, sc in next sc, ch 2, sc in next sc, ** repeat the directions between * and ** four more times, then sl st in last sc, sl st in first sl st made at the beginning of the edging round. End off. Weave in ends.
As shown in the photo example, I've also designed an optional Marker Tail that can be added to this bookmark. Directions for adding the Marker Tail With Bead to the bookmark are on Page 2 of this pattern. ---> Pattern Page 2

Printing This Page: I've had requests for hints for printing the patterns from this site. After clicking on File at the top of your Internet browser, you can choose Print Preview to see ahead of time what part of the page is going to print for you. With many newer printers, this gives you a printing page with no ads included. But if your printer only shows the ad at the top of the page when you try to print, try clicking somewhere on a blank area of the center portion of the page (the pattern portion), then click on File at the top of your Internet browser and choose Print. Having clicked on the pattern part of the page first tells your printer what part of the page you want to print. If there is a selection showing such as "Print Selected Frame Only" in the printer box that pops up, choose that option. If needed, there is also a Printer-Friendly Page but many newer printers will give a better printing page (with no ads) by choosing Print Preview from this main page.
