I used Aunt Lydia's Crochet thread and a size D hook.
Make a magic circle
Round 1
Ch3, 2dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2 and join.
Sides and top of cross
Ch3 2dc, ch2, dc3 in any ch2 sp. Turn and *sl to ch2, ch3,2dc, ch2,3dc. *Turn and repeat * repeat everything in this step 3 more times. Cut thread and weave in ends at the ends of the sides.
Bottom of the cross
When you get to the last side repeat the * section 2 more times for a total of 4 shells for the bottom and 2 shells for the sides not including the center.
On the top of the cross attach yarn and chain 26, skip the first 5 and sl to the first chain. Then I added a tassel.
If thread isn't your thing check out this great bookmark Stitch 11 made from my Cross Bangle pattern!
