What I did to make a hole in my bookmark which I bet everyone does everything but what I do, but I get a needle and poke it into the bookmark and strech out the hole and then I slide the strings in. But I'm guessing that everyone else does something different.

Ah nevermind, I followed the tutorial and somehow I survived. Ty anyway, I'll be sure to try out your technique next time I make a bookmark @fordchild1

I assume you were watching this video by HandMade Lenin https://youtu.be/wJDV7bfqZosShe does not want anyone to recreate the tutorial so I hope she doesn't mind me summing up her video Here are the steps as described in the video: - attach your base strings to a horizontal string using lark's head knots - knot a row of f knots normally for the first row - fold the six middle base strings up so they're out of the way - on the right side you do b knots until you're at the gap and then f knots back to the edge - on the left side you do f knots until you are at the edge with a new leading string and then b knots back to the edge - fold the 6 left out base strings down again and divide them into two groups of 3 - take the second string of the right group and make a bf knot onto the first string of the right group - take the third string of the right group and make a bf knot onto the first and the second string of the right group at once - take the string on the right of these three strings and make a bf knot onto these three strings at once - leave the fourth string out, take one of the three strings and make a bf knot onto the other two strings at once - leave the third string out, take one of the two strings and do a bf knot onto the other string - on the left side you do the same but mirrored -once you've done this on the left and the right make any knot you like between the two middle strings For the next step I am not entirely sure because you can't see it super well in the video and she doesn't specify it - take the right leading string and make b knots until you get to the 6 strings left out in the beginning, make a bf knot onto the third string of the right group and then make f knots back to the edge - take the right leading string and make b knots to the middle and include the third and second string, make a bf knot onto the first string and then make f knots back to the edge - do the same on the left but mirrored - take the right leading string and continue knotting in rows like you usually would -to finish the bracelet you cut the loose strings close to the bracelet and glue the ends down (I'm unsure which glue she uses) |

Now I feel stupid for trying to sum it up for what feels like forever 😂

@halokiwi thank you so much! Your explanation was so helpful. Sorry for not responding earlier, I was so focused on the clarification and bookmark itself I forgot to respond 😅
