Bookmarks from Jane in South Africa

A few days ago I had the following sent to me from Jane. Remember Jane from a few days ago?

She said

The original pattern is from Anna Burda magazine, May 1984, page L14.
I 'converted' another braid on the Anna page, but this one was very easy, as you can see. Also much easier and neater using split rings. I used size 10 thread and turned it into bookmarks by adding a tassel.

The pattern for the bookmarks looks like this:
SR 1: 6/6
R each side: 4-2-2-4
SR 4: 6/6
R each side: 5+5-2-2-5-5

Repeat, with the next small ring each side joining to the large ring, 4+2-2-4.
I ended with a split ring after two small rings, and attached a tassel to the bottom, and used size 10 thread.

  1. The bookmarks are simple and elegant! I guess I'll have to start practicing that split ring that Laura taught me last summer!

  3. Hi Jane,
    I really like the geometry of this pattern and it looks as if it would be a very practical, usable bookmark! I often think that some bookmarks look really lovely, but only as eye candy and not for actual use!
