      This bookmark is thin enough to be used in almost any type of book. Plus, it's a great way to use up all of that scrap yarn you have laying around :)



Supplies:
     6.50 mm crochet hook
     worsted weight multi-color yarn
     stitch marker
     a button
     sewing needle and thread
     scissors

Abbreviations Used:
     ch --- chain
     Rnd(s) --- round(s)
     sc --- single crochet
     st/sts --- stitch/stitches
     trc --- triple crochet
     slp st --- slip stitch

Notes:
     --- Be sure to move the stitch marker up as you complete each round.
     --- Multi-color yarns seem to look the best; but any color of yarn can be used.
