Single crochet 2 together around until there are 12 stitchesremaining.
End by slip stitching into the front loop of the next stitch.When you cut the yarn leave it long enough to be part ofthe "hair. Tie "hair to the front loops of the last round. When you little friend is full enough if you want a toy or palto give, thread a good length of yarn through the back loopsof the last round. Pull tight.

Over the Book Bookmark

Over the Book Bookmark

Copyright to; Judith Prindle 9/7/05
Materials:
small amount of bedspread weight thread (you could also use baby yarn)
size E crochet hook
a button, charm, or bead
This bookmark will loop around the book, not just lay between the pages.
Crochet a chain to a length of your choosing leaving a good long tail.
This is the first half of the bookmark and you want it long enough to go at least half way around a good size book.
My chain is about 11 inches
Thread your decoration of choice over the end of the chain just made.
For me how many chains I want the loop my button hangs from to be depends on the size
of the button. Some where between 5-8 chains. Slip stitch into a chain or two forming the chain
loop for the button to hang from..See the picture.
Continue crocheting the chain until it is just one a two chains longer than the first half.
Pull the beginning tail through the last chain and pull tight. Cut thread leaving a good legth of yarn.

There are pictures here...............

of how to make fringe. This is how I make the "tassel like" fringe on my bookmark. I measured
out about 4 feet of thread and folded it in half 3 times. I then looped it over the end of my bookmark
as shown int the pictures, pulling the end threads through with the other loops. I then cut
the loops fairly even.
