Crochet Cross Bookmark Pattern

Some time ago I found this cross bookmark pattern online (yes it was free I think) but now when I went to find it again so I could share it It was nowhere to be found. As for me saving a copy of it....well that got lost when my pc crashed. I have since taken the time to write it out as I crochet one so that I may share it with others. IF someone finds that this pattern is indeed not a free pattern or is copywritten please let me know and I will take it down.
