This was a fun and quick knit with a pattern repeat that was easy to remember. The tricky part was not losing track of the number of repeats and knitting a necktie instead 
I blocked by washing the bookmark with a tiny bit of wool wash and then letting it dry pinned out. I have a puzzle play mat for all my blocking needs. They absolutely need blocking in some shape or form since they want to curl up otherwise.
See: didn’t keep track of my repeats so this one is a smidge longer. Still reasonable bookmark length.
This is the pattern I used:
There is a link via the wayback machine that had a sort of usable pattern. I didn’t get how the fringe was supposed to work so I just weaved in the ends and shaped the bookmarks by blocking them. I decided against starching them since the cotton held its shape reasonably well.
Yarn: It’s either Scheepjes Catona or Schachenmayr Catania. It’s a mercerised cotton yarn and makes for a sturdy bookmark with good stitch definition.
Needles: 2,75 mm
My prototype was made with a mystery (wool?) yarn that kept breaking… I could see that the pattern was good but I didn’t feel like fastening that many ends so I switched to the cotton yarn.
Just to illustrate why lace needs to be blocked:
It all looks like boiled cabbage until you block it. The blue mess with all the ends hanging off it is the prototype.
