Crazy Mom's Bookmark Three Ways

I've got a new tatted bookmark pattern for you.  I've done it a ton of times.  It's simple, all rings and chains.



I tatted this in Lizbeth size 20.  It tatted up to just over six inches.

The pattern is designed to be tatted three different ways.



Here are the variations - going from fluffy to smooth.

Want to tat it?  My pattern is here.



It looks good with a ribbon through it, too.

Tip - if you tat this bookmark with an odd number of rings on each side, the ribbon looks better, finishing and ending on the same side.

Enjoy!

  5. I have a question about the pattern...what does CTM stand for? I've been tatting for only a month and am still learning all the terminology. :)
