ch 40 to create bookmark strip. FO and leave a long tail.
Finishing Touches:
Sew the button to the middle of the area made by the first 6 rows. If you will be using this bookmark with one specific notebook, put the body of the bookmark on the spine, wrap the tail into the book, wind the end around the button and pull tight. Use that “measurement” to tie a loop that can hook onto the button.If this bookmark will be “multiuse” between books, you can just pull the tail tight and wind it back through the book to keep it secure.

This is the pattern I´ve been waiting for all my life... And I didn´t even know it!!!
Brilliant :)
I´ll start NOW!
Thank you, I found this picture on Pinterest. Searched and viola! Thank you. I may do this today.
I need help with R7: can someone clarify the part that says HDC in the SAME stitches?!? Please :)
KC - so for R7, you start out crocheting in only the front loops, then turn and crochet in the back loops of the same stitches... that was you wind up with a round where you initially just had a row. Does that make sense?
Thanks for this pattern!! Really excited to get it started. I'm actually a knitter but learning to crochet at the moment so this would be brilliant as a project... although perhaps not to begin with!
I've given it a go, but having trouble with R7 and R8 - particularly this bit here:
1 hdc inc FLO in last sc. join first hdc with last hdc using a sl st. (9 hdc)
I'm lost! I understand: 1 hdc increase through the front loop only in the last single crochet (but where is the single crochet? Do you mean a single crochet in an earlier row?)
And where do the 9 hdc come from? and then why does it need to be joined again in R8? Sorry, I can read knitting patterns like a book, but as crochet is new to me, it'll take some getting used to!
Thanks again for this, having lots of fun learning!!
