    I love this bookmark! Did struggle with the way pattern was written but once I understood it got on like a house on fire. Changed the last row-just couldn’t get it at all, but it’s just perfect. I used an off white size 10 thread and 1.75 hook and added beads to the ‘tail’ at each cross spur. I’m sending it to a friend for a birthday gift. She loves thread crochet and is a big reader so I hope its a winner 🙂 . Thank you for the pattern.

    In Row 4, should you have a total of 30 trb? It seems a lot, and doesn’t want to lay flat. Also, in Row 6, the pattern says to sc in the ch-1 sps, but you made ch-3 in the previous row. Should it be ch-1 instead?

    What does trb stand for? Treble ?

    Love your instructions . Simple short and very understandable . A good crocheter don’t need a three page instruction to do a project . When a 1/2 page will do the same for the same pattern . Thank you

    Hi Sandra:
    It’s me again. I made a few adjustments to this pattern and the results were delightful. I used a smaller hook, I used number 20 cotton, I made 12 trb. in the third row instead of 15 and I added a tassel at the end of the bookmark string. This made the bookmark thinner, smaller and easier to insert into a book.
    Regards
    Elaine

        Good Morning Sandra: I am in a small town, Binbrook, just a little south of Hamilton, Ontario. I am not actually in Ravelry but I look there often for ideas and patterns. I crochet, knit and sew. I am a retired Kindergarten Teacher so now I can spend my time doing what I love. Looks like you love horses, dogs and bike riding. Is that your picture on the web site? This is just plain fun:) Regards Elaine

        Hi Elaine, our business is called Many
        Horses Jewelry Supply, it’s my hubs Native American name, funny we don’t have a single horse, just a dog nearly as big as one 🙂
        We are in Elkhorn, about 2.5 hours north of Chicago, where my hubs is from – I’m originally from California myself.
        I love getting out on my bike, it’s total freedom!

    Thank you Sandra. I am sure that will help a great deal. It will be fun to make this pattern up. I can think of half a dozen friends that would love a book mark like this. Thanks again. Elaine

    Hi:
    I down loaded this pattern and am anxious to start. I noticed an abbreviation that I am not familiar with. It is, “S.o.S”
    Can you help.
    Regards

      Hello Elaine
      Here’s another Pineapple Doily pattern that will help explain what “S.o.S” means,
      NOTE: 5th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 4, in sp of next shell make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; ch 4. Repeat from * around. Join.

      Hereafter “shell over shell” will be referred to as “s.o.s”

      Hope that helps!!! I’ll add it to my pattern as well 🙂

      Happy Hooking!
      Sandra

    Hello! I typed the pattern verbatum, but yes, there’s an ommission.

    Here’s what it should read:
    Row 4: S.o.S, ch 3, 1 trb, ch 1, 1trb in each of 15 trb, ch 3, S.o.S, ch 5, turn.

    That should do it!

    Cheers!

    Hello! I’m working on this, and running into a problem in Row 5. I do the SoS and ch 3, but there is no ch 3 sp to skip, as Row 4 had 1 trb in each of 15 trbs, then SoS, then ch 5 and turn.

    So in Row 5, I skipped the first trb rather than the nonexistent ch 3 sp, then sc in the next 13 trbs. Is that correct?
