Fringe: Cut several strands of yarn about 8-10 inches in length.
Insert hook in ch 5 loop along edge of bookmark. Fold all strands of yarn in half. Using the hook, draw the folded ends of the yarn up through the ch-5 sp and pull the loose ends through the folded end. This completes the fringe and all you need to do is tighten up the knot by pulling on the strands of yarn.
