if you looking for a quick and easy
0:01
festive gift for a book lover then look
0:03
no further than my peppermint striped
0:05
bookmark so you're going to need a 2.5
0:08
mm hook some fingering or four ply yarn
0:12
if you're in the UK scissors and a
0:14
darning needle I'm going to be showing
0:15
you how to do a three color book Mark
0:18
today but the two color book Mark is
0:20
worked in exactly the same way but just
0:22
doing two rows of each color with a
0:24
three color bookmark I'm going to be
0:26
changing colors every row so we start by
0:29
putting a slip knot on our
0:34
hook and then you're going to chain a
0:37
multiple of 2 + one so you'll just keep
0:40
counting in twos until your chain is as
0:43
long as you want your bookmark to be
0:52
two one two so just keep counting in
1:02
until you get your desired length I'm
1:05
just going to make a small Swatch to
1:07
show you how to make this today so we've
1:09
got a multiple of two and then we're
1:11
going to add one extra Stitch and we'll
1:13
start by putting a single crochet into
1:15
the third chain from our hook so we
1:17
count our chains one 2 3 so a single
1:30
we're then going to skip the next Stitch
1:33
and put a single crochet into the
1:41
one skip the next Stitch single
1:45
crochet into the following Stitch and
1:47
we're going to repeat this all the way
1:50
across so we at the last Stitch I'm
1:52
actually going to change color here so
1:55
I'm going to put the beginning of a
1:57
single crochet into that last chain
2:04
instead of yarning over and finishing
2:05
off the Stitch with the white I'm going
2:11
green so just put the green over your
2:15
hook and pull that through to finish off
2:17
the Stitch then going to chain
2:21
two and turn and now we're going to be
2:24
working into the chain spaces we left
2:25
from the previous row so our first chain
2:28
space is here so we'll put put single
2:39
one look for the next chain space we'll
2:41
put a single crochet in
2:47
one and we're going to we're going to
2:49
repeat this all the way across so chain
2:52
one single crochet in the next space
2:56
one single crochet in the next space
2:59
until you get to the end then you'll
3:01
chain one and you'll put single crochet
3:06
space and we're going to finish off with
3:09
the next color so just lay the new color
3:13
over your hook and just pull that
3:15
through to finish off that single
3:23
turn and we're just going to repeat the
3:25
last row so single crochet in this first
3:31
chain one single crochet in the next
3:41
on until the end of the row and when you
3:44
get to the end of the row we're going to
3:45
finish by putting a single crochet into
3:58
space we're going to finish off our
4:00
Stitch with the white so we're going to
4:01
drop the red pick up the
4:05
white and finish our Stitch like like so
4:13
turn and then we're going to repeat that
4:15
row again so single crochet into the
4:19
space chain one single crochet into the
4:24
space chain one and we're going to
4:26
repeat this across and once we get to
4:28
the end of the row you have the green
4:31
here so we'll pick up the green and
4:33
we'll just keep repeating those rows
4:35
every time we get to the end of the row
4:36
we'll have another color to pick up so
4:38
we'll just keep swapping colors every
4:40
row you'll keep going until you've got a
4:42
total of 10 rows and it's exactly the
4:44
same amount of rows for the um two color
4:48
one this one is two rows for each color
4:52
and this one we're changing color every
4:53
rows so all that's left to do is add
4:55
your little fringing to the ends or the
4:58
two col color bookmark I used three
5:02
strands of yarn for each little um
5:04
Fringe tassel at the end because that
5:07
was going for two for two rows I think
5:09
I'm going to try maybe one strand for
5:13
this so you want to match your fringing
5:16
to the colors the color Stripes so you
5:18
want to take a piece of yarn that's
5:21
roughly twice as long as you want your
5:36
so then you put your hook through the
5:41
end pull your yarn through and you'll
5:45
just tie a LS head not just
5:47
by pulling these two ends through this
5:55
so and you're going to do that all the
5:57
way across so next we'll do one with
5:59
some red and I've got this red end here
6:01
so I'm going to incorporate that
6:06
Fringe so pull that Loop through and
6:09
then I'm going to pick up this tail here
6:12
as well so you don't have to weave any
6:23
so and once you've gone through and done
6:26
all of them as I said you can add more
6:28
than one strand if you want them to be a
6:29
bit thi but once you've gone through and
6:31
added them all then all you need to do
6:33
is give them a little bit of a
6:39
trim and you will end up with something
6:43
this if you're looking for more quick
6:45
