CROCHET BOOKMARK PATTERN
A crochet bookmark pattern is as important as the book itself to keep it warm. Apart from crocheting, I also love reading.
I love reading good Novels when time permits, and of course, a bookmark is needed for a mum with a toddler! This crochet bookmark pattern is easy to follow and quick to make
I found myself using my crochet hooks as bookmarks; please tell me I’m not the only one who does this. I thought of making a crochet bookmark and wondered why I should not make a cute and attractive bookmark instead of hooks.
Since I made this Book divider, I’ve lost count of the number made as a gift since then. A cute pendant was added to the last set. It was made and sent to my Baby’s Nursery teachers as a gift; they also loved their Bookmarks.
Here’s the crochet bookmark pattern

Pattern Notes
- Chains at the beginning of the rows/rounds do not count as a stitch.
- If you do not have a key ring, an alternative option using chains is provided. The key ring only makes the divider sturdy.
- If you want to use different colors, you can do it after each round.
- This pattern is worked in rounds and then in rows.
