Bookmarks

A crochet bookmark is a small project for using leftover yarn and making a practical gift for a reader. Start with the hibiscus flower bookmark below, and read its materials and assembly instructions before choosing your yarn.

Fine cotton and a matching hook can help keep a bookmark slim enough to sit between pages. Weave in loose ends securely, avoid bulky knots along the stem, and block the finished piece only as directed by the yarn label. Let it dry completely before placing it in a book. To adjust the length, measure against the book you plan to use rather than assuming one size fits every edition.
