Helpful Notes

• The special stitch used in this pattern is the shell stitch, which is just 5 double crochet stitches in one stitch, anchored by a single crochet after 2 skipped stitches.
• If you prefer to make a longer size, simply chain any multiple of 6 + 2, then work the pattern as written.
• Work more or less repeat rows if you’d like your bookmark wider.
• The pattern is available to view for free on the ad-supported Juniper & Oakes website. This ad-free PDF provides a more convenient, annoyance-free way of reading the pattern.
