Every pattern I've seen for crocheted cross bookmarks requires doing the staff in one piece, then joining the yarn to add the arms separately. I wanted a pattern that could be worked in one piece for a Demand Media article. This one took about 30 minutes to work up, and it's all worked in one piece starting with a foundation chain that's the full length of the bookmark.
And, since eHow articles have to follow AP style, they can be a pain to follow for experienced crocheters. The simpler pattern follows after the jump.
