Torchon beginners #1 - Tartan, Torchon Ground bookmark

This video supports the second pattern I use with beginners, this is the first time they meet ground stitches, in this case half stitch, pin, half stitch which is known as Torchon ground. Its a simple bookmark with 12 pairs, I used Aurifil 28/2 to work the bookmark. Please click below for video timings.
