Crochet Cross Pattern for a lace bookmark worked in shell stitch, with a scalloped edge, a folded red satin ribbon and a white pearl bead in the center. ‼️ THIS LISTING IS FOR A DIGITAL PDF PATTERN ONLY, NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT ‼️ The cross starts from a ring of 5 chains. Each row is a shell of 3 double crochet, 2 chain and 3 double crochet worked into the center space, with 1 double crochet into the last stitch of the row below. The long vertical section is 18 rows. The two arms are then worked from the side at about row 12, 5 rows each, directly opposite one another. A single crochet and 3-chain edging goes around every outer space to give the whole cross its scalloped frame.
