- Round 8: Dec, sc x3, dec x 2, sc x3, dec. (10)
- Round 9: Dec x5. (5)
- Fasten off your yarn but leave enough to sew the top of the tea bag closed. Then sew the tea bag closed.
- Now you want to rejoin the yarn to the top middle of the tea bag and ch x60.
- In the 3rd chain from the hook make a dc. Dc x2 and then make a sl st. Fasten off and weave in any ends.
- And now you have a tea bag bookmark! Happy crocheting! Stay caffeinated!
