This bookmark is worked in one pass from the left to the right.  It's made using Split Rings and Self Closing Mock Rings - see Fig. 1.  There is also an interesting chain which links the main part to the tail which hangs outside the book.  If you should have any problems, please email me.

First end – using Wsh1 - see Fig. 2

SCMR1:         3 R[3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(4th p last R) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(3rd p last R) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 Rw  change to Wsh2

SCMR2:         3 R[3 +(1st p R1 on SCMR1) 3 – 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(3rd p last R) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(3rd p last R) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 Rw - See Fig. 2

 

Sides – worked alternately from start to finish – decide which ‘side’ the colours will be on the SR’s and make sure that they stay on the same side each time!  See Fig. 1.  This can, of course, be changed to create different effects with the colour.  I found it easier, though, to stick with this idea.

SR3:   6 +(3rd p last R SCMR on left) 3 / 6 +(3rd p last R SCMR on left) 3  SLT

SCMR4:         3 R[3 +(2nd p last R SCMR on left) 3 – 3 – 3] 3  Rw  change Wsh

SCMR5:         3 R[3 +(2nd p last R SCMR on left) 3 – 3 – 3] 3  SLT Rw

SR6:   3 / 3  Rw

*SCMR7:       3 R[3 +(last p previous SCMR on left) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 Rw  change Wsh

SCMR8:         3 R[3 +(last p previous SCMR on left) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 SLT Rw

SR9:   3 / 3  SLT*  repeat from * to * for the length required.  Next work SCMR7 & SCMR8 again.  Then work the second end (see instructions below) with the SCMR colours on the opposite side to those at the first end.  See figs. 1 & 3

 

Second end:

SR:     3 – 6 / 3 – 6  SLT

SCMR1:         3 R[3 +(last SR on left) 3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3 – 3 – 3] 3 Cl Rw  change Wsh

SCMR2:         3 R[3 +(last SR on left) 3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous SCMR) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3 – 3 +(LAST p on previous ring on last END SCMR) 3] 3 Cl  T & C

 

SCMR – tail - see Fig. 5

Using two shuttles, join over the p which joins SCMR1 & SCMR2 on the final end. 

Make a chain as follows keeping each section tightly against the previous one.

Ch:     3 normal ds *picot, 3 ds UNFLIPPED (as in 2nd half of a SR), picot 3 normal ds*.  Repeat from * to * for length required.  Change Wsh & work

 

End Motif - see Fig. 5

SR:     3 – 6 / 3 – 6  SLT

SCMR1:         3 R[3 +(last SR on left) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3 – 3 – 3] 3 Cl Rw  change Wsh

SCMR2:         3 R[3 +(last SR on left) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3 – 3] 3 R[3 +(last p previous R) 3 – 3 – 3 +(LAST p on previous TAIL SCMR) 3] 3 Cl  T & C
