Read instructions all the way through before beginning. 2. Leaves and berries maybe worked with any size yarn or thread just use the appropriate size hook for the yarn. 3. Leaf stitches are worked by inserting hook under two loops of the chain. When you work in the unused loop of chain there will only be a single loop. Thats why you work over the tail to make it match the first side. SPECIAL STITCH: Picot = Ch 3, slipstitch in 3rd ch from hook.

TASSEL: Cut 6 strands of thread about 6 inches long. Fold in half and draw loop through the circle at end of tail with a crochet hook. Draw the loose ends of the strands through the loop and pull them down tightly to form a knot. Trim ends of tassel evenly. BLOCK: Mix 1 part vinegar with 5 parts water. Wet the bookmark with the vinegar solution. Squeeze out excess and lay on a towel. Shape the star and tail, allow to dry. BERRIES: Glue three red seed beads to base of leaves.
