Additional instructions:

Do not forget to iron your bookmark(s).

For the twisted cord, cut the yarn approximately 120 cm (47”) and fold it in half twice. Pull the yarn through the ch-5 space. Start twisting the thread ends in opposite directions. Now join ends together, holding them in one hand, lift your bookmark and let it twist naturally.

It will twist upon itself. Tie yarn ends together in a knot leaving a 2.5 cm tail.

Now give your tail a little haircut on the ends and you are done
