How to Crochet a Flower Bookmark ✨ | Beginner-Friendly Bookmark Tutorial + Free Pattern
Hello!
Create a cute 5-petal flower bookmark featuring a textured center and elegant petals. This design works up quickly with any kind of hook and yarn, making it perfect for gifts, craft fairs, or personal use.
There is a detailed tutorial for the same on my YouTube Channel which you can check out here.
Materials:
- Yarn - Weight-2 Acrylic yarn in two colors
- Hook – 2.5mm
- Scissors
- Stitch Markers
- Piece of cardboard (2.5 inch long)
Abbreviations:
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- hdc – half double crochet
- dc – double crochet
- sl st – slip stitch
- st – stitch
- sp – space
- fasten off – secure yarn and cut
- Chain 3.
- Insert hook into the top of the double crochet just made and the loop on the dc.
- Yarn over, pull up a loop
- Pull that loop through the loop on your hook.
Special Stitches
Picot
Foundation (In Pink):
- Ch 5
- Sl st into first ch to form a ring.
- Do this to get that small space in the center. Or you can also make a Magic Ring.
Round 1:
- Ch 1 (does not count as stitch)
- Work *[3 dc, ch 5] into the ring
- Repeat from * 5 times total
- sl st to join - (15 dc, 5 ch5-sps)
- Ch1, fasten off.
Round 2 (In White):
Attach white yarn in the middle stitch of any 3-dc group.
- ch 1, sc in same stitch.
- Now work into the next ch5 space:
- * [(1 hdc, 4 dc, ch 3, picot, 4 dc, 1 hdc), sc in the middle stitch of the next 3dc group]
- Repeat from * around.
- After working in the last ch5-space:

Bookmark Tail:
- After joining:
- Ch 60 (or desired length)
- Fasten off.
Tassel:
- Take a piece of cardboard that’s about 2.5 inches wide (smaller and wider based on how long you want the tassel to be)
- Place the end of your bookmark on the top edge of this piece.
- Wrap a new piece of yarn around the 2.5-inch side of the cardboard 20 to 25 times. I wrapped mine around 25 times, but you can adjust based on how thick you want your tassel to be. Make sure you’re wrapping over the end of the bookmark too.
- Once you're done wrapping, tie the end of the bookmark chain tightly at the top. This will secure the tassel to your bookmark.
- Slide it off the cardboard.
- Cut the other end of the tassels with scissors.
- Use another small piece of yarn to tie a knot around the top of the tassel, about 1 cm below where it’s attached to the chain. This creates the little "head" of the tassel.
- Bring in the excess yarn through the center.
- Trim the ends to make them even and neater — and your tassel is done!
