To make a bookmark ~
These instructions use UK terminology
Use a 3.5mm or 4mm hook
 
Flower :  Make 2
Chain 3, join with a slip stitch into a ring
 
Round 1: in yellow or white yarn
ch2, make 11tc into ring, slip stitch to join (12sts)
 
Round 2:  in contrast colour yarn
ch2, 4tc into same stitch, slip stitch into next stitch, 5tc into next stitch, slip stitch into next stitch, continue around. Fasten off. There should be 6 petals.
 
Sew the two flower centres together back to back. Leave the petals unjoined.
 
Stem :
Using green yarn, chain 45. Fasten off. Tie the bottom into a bow or make a simple knot.

  5. Does anyone know what these conversions are in US? I've looked up conversion charts but some of these abbreviations aren't even on the charts such as "tc" and "sts". Thank you very much for any help!
