27 Oct DIY Crochet Bookmark

If you love reading and crafting, this crochet bookmark is the perfect project — quick, creative, and beautifully functional. With delicate flowers and leafy stems, it makes a thoughtful handmade gift or a lovely treat for yourself.

You’ll need:

• Two colours of embroidery floss (for the flower)
• Green embroidery floss (for the stem)
• 2.75mm crochet hook (size B/2)
• Scissors
• Stitch marker (optional)

Crochet the Flower:

• Row 1: Create a magic ring (MR) and work 11 single crochets (SC) into it. Pull the tail tight to close the circle and slip stitch (SL) to join. (11 stitches)
• Row 2: Make 18 treble crochets (TC) into the centre of the MR and SL to close. (18 stitches)
• Row 3: Switch to a new colour. Chain (CH) 1, increase (Inc.) in every stitch around, and SL to close. (36 stitches)
• Row 4: SL in the same stitch as the last row. Double crochet (DC) in the next stitch, then repeat SL, DC around. SL to close and cut the thread, leaving enough to weave in the end. (36 stitches)

Crochet the Stem and Leaves:

• Attach green thread at the flower’s base. CH 76 for the stem.
• For the first leaf: SL in the second stitch from the hook, then work SC, HDC, DC, HDC, SC across the next five stitches.
• For the second leaf: CH 6, then repeat the same pattern.
