Fan Edging Bookmark

[angel]

I used a pattern from a Leisure Arts Edging book for this one. 3.00mm hook and 4ply cotton.

 

 

Both the same picture but one without the flash (above) which shows the pattern a bit better and one with the flash (below) which shows the colours more accurately.

 

 

It's quite large for a bookmark but I like it like that

I like it! I love bookmarks - always looking when I go to the bookstore May I ask what Leisure Arts book this is?

very pretty. I like large bookmarks, harder to lose and I lose a lot of them. LOL

[caitlinsmom]

Really pretty bookmark.

It looks great Shell!!! It's nice to see another crocheter who lets herself use creative interpretation!!

Looks wonderful!! Great work!

Thanks for the comments

 

The book is "111 Easy Edgings" Leisure Arts #2924 - the edgings are worked top to bottom so it is easy to adjust the length, and there are some very pretty patterns!

 

I used # 31 in the book for this bookmark.

JulieM-

Here is a link to the fan bookmark that is on cupcake's blog. It's a great design too and free if you are making it for personal use.

I love these delicate bookmarks! Cupcake crocheted them some time ago and showed them here, and I wrote it was too difficult for me and... I was so lucky I was raok´d with one of them from a Fairy Godmother from Philippines!

I love cupcake's fan bookmark but when I tried it before, it was a bit advanced for me...now I've done this one, I might be able to give hers a go

Great bookmark! How pretty!

[Ladycrochat]

beautifuyl design....looks wonderful in the variegated thread!

[msmusic]

what a great idea ... I will look at my thread edgings patterns with a fresh eye ...

[angel]

It's actually quite a good way to 'test' the pattern and see how it works up. If you do it nicely in pretty thread or cotton, you just need to add a tassle or something and you have a bookmark without too much extra work

I love the colors you used. So pretty:)

[neicy crochets]

Love the bookmark. I've made quite a few myself(not fans) but none as nice as that. I find I don't have enough patience to work with thread for too long. But you did a wonderful job on that.

[heart]

Oh my goodness! That's just lovely! ANd the colors are soooo pretty! Great job!

I love big bookmarks and this one is really fancy.
