Trendy Crochet Flower Bookmark Pattern For Bookish Gifts

Crochet Flower Bookmark Pattern

These bookmarks serve as a stylish way to mark your pages while also making heartfelt gifts for friends and loved ones. With their intricate details and vibrant colors, they bring a touch of elegance to any book. Suitable for all skill levels, this pattern encourages creativity and results in a stunning accessory for everyday use or special occasions.

Tip

Secure the Strip: To ensure the bookmark strip remains flat and does not stretch or curl over time, work the entire strip by using the back loop only (BLO) of the single crochet stitch in every row. This creates a subtle ribbing effect that adds stability and neat texture.

Uses

  • Mark pages in any book or notebook.

  • Create charming handmade gifts for friends and family.

  • Produce quick items to sell at markets or craft fairs.

Materials

  • Yarn (Color 1 - Center): Use a contrasting color (e.g., white/cream) of Milk Cotton yarn (2 mm thick) for the flower center.

  • Yarn (Color 2 - Petals/Strip/Leaves): Use your desired color for the petals and green for the strip and leaves. The same Milk Cotton yarn is recommended.

  • Crochet Hook: Use a 2.5 mm hook.

  • Notions: Gather scissors, a tapestry needle, a half pearl or decorative bead for the flower center (optional), and hot silicone glue or strong adhesive for assembly.

Special Features

  • Seven-Petal Flower: The pattern creates a beautiful layered flower with a seven-point base and seven distinct, voluminous petals.

  • Triple-Treble Petal: You use the Triple Treble Crochet (tr tr) stitch to give the petals extra height and a voluminous, textured appearance.

  • Integrated Leaves: You attach two simple, double-sided leaves directly to the end of the bookmark strip, allowing them to peek out from under the flower.

  • Flat Strip Design: The bookmark strip is worked with a consistent width of four single crochet stitches, ensuring it lies flat between book pages without adding bulk.

Level of Difficulty

This project carries an Easy difficulty rating and is perfectly suitable for beginners.

Tutor's Suggestions

  • Measure the Strip: Determine the strip's length based on the size of the book you plan to use, ensuring the finished strip extends slightly outside the pages. The recommended length is approximately 20 cm.

  • Maintain Width: Consistently maintain four stitches (four single crochet stitches) in every row of the strip. Always remember to work into the last stitch, which can sometimes be hidden or tricky to find.

  • Adjust Thickness: If you want a wider bookmark strip, begin your foundation chain with 6 or 7 chains instead of the initial 5 chains.

  • Secure Assembly: Use hot silicone glue, cold glue, or a hand-sewing method to securely attach the flower and the pearl to the strip for durability.
