Iced Mint - Thread Crochet Bookmark

A second bookmark crochet pattern, more because once I got started I couldn't stop coming up with new ideas than anything else. This bookmark will work up extremely quickly (under an hour) and don't let the size of the steps fool you - this is an extremely easy crochet pattern, using mostly single-crochet stitches to create the pattern.
