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.
If you can't do split rings, you could end off when you reach the length you wish for your bookmark and begin again, joining your chains as you go.
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.
