finished bookmark on white backgroundWho couldn't use another bookmark? I created this pattern because I needed more bookmarks. I think crocheted hearts are darling, I love being able to put tiny scraps to good use. I also love super quick projects, and I think these would make nice gifts. That said, here's the pattern so you can make your own. Have fun!

Total Time: About 5 minutes

Source: I was trying to copy a bookmark I saw online a long time ago. I like how this one turned out even better. Less ends to weave in.:)

Supplies:

  • "h" crochet hook
  • tiny amounts of worsted #4 yarn
  • scissors
  • embroidery needle for weaving in your end

Steps:

  1. Ch 5, join with a slip stitch to create a ring.
  2. forming ring
     
  3. Ch 3, work 4 sc into your ring.
  4. working sc in ring
     
  5. Please remember to continue to tightly pull your stitches to the right on your ring. Don't worry, you won't hurt them! They need to be pulled over after every few stitches to make room for everyone else.
  6. Now work 5 treble crochet.

  23. When you have finished chaining your desired length, fasten off. Make a simple overhand knot to reinforce your end.
