Crochet flower bookmarks are a delightful way to add a touch of charm to your reading time! These dainty creations not only keep your place in a book but also bring a pop of color and joy to your reading experience.

Supplies needed for this little flower bookmark:
Yarn in flower colour and green
A corresponding crochet hook to go with your yarn thickness
Hook size really is important for crochet – if your hook is too large, it will result in loose crochet that doesn’t look very neat! So if in doubt, use a slightly smaller crochet hook.

We used American crochet terminology throughout. Also, we have a fantastic set of beginner crochet videos that you can browse at your leisure. These include everything from how to hold your yarn, to magic circles and how to do a half double crochet etc.

Crochet Flower Bookmark Pattern:
Small flower in pink for petals
Start by making 5 petals into a magic circle:
01: Into MC, (Ch 2, 2 dc, 1 hdc, Slst) x5
Stem and leaf in green
Change colour to green to make the long flower stem (make sure to still be attached to the flower):
02: Ch to the length of your book (here it is 58 ch)
And now we make the little green leaf to dangle at the bottom (still stay attached)
03: Ch 8, skip 1st stitch, 2 Slst, Sc, hdc, 2dc, hdc, Slst, on the other side of the 8ch, Slst, hdc, 2dc, hdc, sc, 2 Slst
Fasten off an sew in ends.
OPTIONS: You can add little buttons to the centre of your flower if you wish. That would look really cute too!
