At a guess you are referring to the book "Twenty Bookmarks".
The ends appear to have been rolled - ie leaving one pair out at the top
of the diagonal, twist the others into a neat roll and then use the pair
left out to sew (using lace sewings) them to the edge - ie wrap the pair
round the roll and then sew into the bar between the stitches then wrap
round and sew into the next bar, and so on, until you reach the centre -
do the same on the other side. Then just create a normal three-strand
plait as you would with long hair (do you call these plaits as we do or
braids in the US?). Tie off as a bundle and trim.
I hope that makes sense - it is easier to do than to describe, but the
rolling techniques you will find in books of Honiton lace, possibly some
others, too - especially in the Cook Book (Bridget Cook's Bobbin Lace
Manual - a very useful reference book if you haven't already got it).

Can you help me. I bought the booklet from The Lace Guild and I can't
figure how to do the ending on bookmarks 13 and 20?
