MATERIALS:

Hook: Steel Size 7

Stitches used: ch, sl st, sc, hdc, dc, ldc, tr.

ldc = Long Double Crochet... you work a regular crochet stitch
in a row other than the normal working row.
In this case it's the space where you placed all the treble stitches.

NOTE: Pattern is worked one heart at a time and then the border is added.

FASTEN OFF

FRINGE: Wrap thread around 4 fingers 10 times. Cut strands. Attach to the top of the bookmark. Insert hook in the top of the bookmark. Fold strands of thread in half. With right side facing, and using the hook, draw the folded ends of the yarn up through the sp and pull the loose ends through the folded end. This completes the fringe and all you need to do is tighten up the knot by pulling on the strands of thread.
