Sometime ago I posted photos showing a few of my crochet bookmarks and received several requests for instructions so I've put together this photo tutorial which I hope you'll find useful. I used 4 ply cotton and a 1.5 mm crochet hook.
To make a similar bookmark you should start with a loop and one single crochet.
Increase one stitch everytime you turn to make the next row.
When you have the desired width (this bookmark is 12 stitches wide), work 17 rows in double crochet.
You should have something like this.
When you finish, weave in the ends of the cotton thread. Then you'll have to make a chain which you then attach to the pointy end of the bookmark with a slip stitch again weaving in the end of the thread.
On the other end of the chain attach a flower or any other embellishment of your choice. I chose a flower and a little bead. To hold the bead in place tie a knot and if you want use a little glue to prevent the end of the thread from fraying.
This is the finished bookmark.
Happy crafting.
