Bind off row: bind off first two sts knit-wise, bind off next st purl-wise, bind off last 2 sts as knit-wise. Leave a 3 inch tail. Weave it in through the back through a few stitches until you find a nice place you want to begin the fringe and pull it through to the RS. With contrasting color, add a heart using duplicate stitch. Cut 2, 4-inch strands of yarn from each ball of yarn. Fold the yarn in half. Using a crochet hook, pull the loop through the bookmark near the yarn you already pulled through so that it is sticking out on the right side. Tuck the tail ends of the yarn through the loop and pull through to desired tightness. Trim the fringe. Block, and enjoy!
