![]() Now a choice must be made. If you want to make just a simple, stand - alone motif, then: | ![]() |
CH: 2 + (to last P of last Chain) , leave a gap of thread slightly shorter than the length of the last chain + (to between first ring and first chain) , work split chain stitches 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2.

Now work set - stitch for desired length (I like to make 25 sets of 6 first half / 6 second half) . Cut thread, leaving 6 - inch ends.
Unwind leftover thread from shuttles, cut a 12 - inch piece, and set aside. Wrap the rest of the thread from both shuttles around a 2 - inch piece of cardboard. Cut one end of the threads and open. Wrap the 6 - inch ends of the tail of the bookmark around these threads and tie the ends AWAY from the tail (it will be inside the tassel) .
Bring tassel down and smooth and even out the ends by finger - combing them until they are even and straight. Wrap 12 - inch piece of thread around, just below the fold, and tie. Then take the ends over the band and down through the center of the tassel. Again, smooth the ends of the tassel and then wrap a piece of paper around the tassel, TIGHTLY. Adjust the ends straight and move the piece of paper so that the bottom edge of the paper is just where you want the tassel trimmed. Trim the ends flush with the piece of paper. This assures that you get a nice even trim of the tassel. Remove paper and bookmark is now finished. | ![]() |
