Tassel: Crochet Bookmark Generator

Finish a narrow strip with cut fringe rather than extra rows

This bookmark uses a three-stitch-wide, thirty-row SC strip containing ninety sc. Its fringe consists of six cut yarn strands, each fifteen centimeters long before folding. The fringe adds no crochet stitches. Separating the strand count from the SC workload makes the actual materials and finishing clear and avoids treating a decorative tassel picture as a generated crochet component.

Keep the three-stitch fabric stable

Chain four, skip the nearest chain and make three sc. Chain one and turn before every following row, excluding the turning chain. Work into all three existing tops until thirty rows are complete. Mark the two edges if needed: in such a narrow fabric, omitting one sc changes a third of the width. Fasten off and weave the starting and ending tails into the back.

Make one grouped fringe knot at the middle top stitch

Cut six compatible strands at fifteen centimeters each and align their ends. Fold the group in half. Pass the folded bight through final-row receiving stitch two, pass all twelve cut ends through the bight and tighten into a lark's-head fringe knot. Trim the twelve ends evenly after checking the knot. Half of fifteen is seven and a half centimeters before knot consumption; the finished hanging length will be shorter.

Evaluate yarn behavior before gifting

The cut ends can untwist or shed differently from crocheted fabric. Test the chosen yarn, washing method and real knot, then keep the fringe outside the pages. If the top row gathers into a hard lump, check the strand bulk and receiving stitch rather than pulling harder. The generator records a strand-cut length, not a certified finished tassel diameter or attachment strength.

Are twelve hanging ends twelve strands?

There are six original strands folded in half, producing twelve free ends.

Can the fringe length be edited?

The supported cut length is five through thirty centimeters. That value applies before folding, knotting and trimming.

Exact original setup and complete working record

Open the Crochet Bookmark Generator and choose tassel. Set strip width to 3, strip rows to 30, cord foundation to twenty and fringe cut length to fifteen centimeters; inactive fields do not resize a fixed source. Download the complete original bookmark JSON before editing. Use compatible smooth, low-bulk yarn, a matching hook, removable markers, scissors and a tapestry needle.

The sequence below uses US terms: sc means single crochet, hdc half double, dc double and tr treble. Ch is chain and sl st slip stitch. UK mode translates the stitch names without changing the source coordinates, quantities or joining references. Check each count's unit: decorative chains, counted closures, routine joins, sewing tacks and cut strands are different things. Review the chart-reading guide and the gauge guide before comparing nominal dimensions.

Use Symbol Chart for insertion sources, Written Pattern for the complete route and Stitch Preview for corresponding loop schematics. These original vector views are not real photographs or evidence of a physically tested bookmark. Wash and measure the actual sample, weave every tail securely and test paper contact in an ordinary book. Save yarn, hook, measured gauge and finishing notes alongside the complete JSON. Keep bulky motifs and fringe outside the page stack.

31. Cut six compatible yarn strands, each 15 cm long. Group and fold them in half. Pass the folded bight through the strip final-row middle receiving stitch 2, pass all twelve cut ends through the bight and tighten into a lark's-head fringe knot. Trim the twelve ends evenly. The nominal pre-knot hanging length is 7.5 cm; the knot consumes some length. This fringe adds no crochet outputs. Check the real knot and yarn behavior before use. [6 cut fringe strands]
