A good book deserves a lovely bookmark and this cute, floral bookmark is the perfect accessory!

In this class you will learn how to make a crochet flower bookmark from start to finish. We will be using the following stitches:

chain stitch
double crochet (US single crochet)
treble crochet (US double crochet)
double treble crochet (US treble crochet)

and working in the round. This class would suit a skill level of advanced beginner onwards.

These flower bookmarks are simple to make, are a great project to use up your yarn scraps and once you have mastered the technique they only take 20-30 minutes to complete.

They make thoughtful, handmade gifts for book-lovers everywhere. I usually make them for end-of-year teacher gifts are they are always well received.

To make the bookmark as I demonstrate it in the video lessons you will need:

DK (double knit) yarn
4mm crochet hook
Darning needle
Buttons or beads
Scissors

However have fun customising your own bookmark by changing the colour scheme, adding or removing stitches to change the size of the flower and experimenting with different yarn types, yarn weights, hook sizes and bead/button embellishments.
