Crochet Spider Bookmark Pattern
Meet Sisi, the cute little crochet spider bookmark. If you are looking for a quick, simple and effective project to make with just a few yards of yarn, then give the spider pattern a chance.
I particularly love that this is a super simple project that can be customized. You can adjust the spider bookmark by customizing the lenght to fit your books by increasing or decreasing the lenght of the chains as directed in the written pattern.
