This was written in a little bit of a hurry. The bookmark part is just a long ch. with 4dc in the 4th from last ch. I was not 100% pleased with that part, but I really think a little bell would look really cute there (what the little yellow thing is SUPPOSED to look like! LOL) Please tell me if there are any problems with the pattern or if you have any questions. Thanks!
