Filet Crochet Bookmarks

I love purchasing craft supplies at thrift stores but this means that I usually have spools of crochet cotton with an unknown amount of yardage left. I recently discovered the meditative nature of filet crochet and have been making simple geometric patterns for use as bookmarks or ribbons.

Repeat pattern until finished piece measures 7-9 inches for bookmarks and anywhere from 12-52 inches for ribbon - depending on use.

Chain 21.
