What can I use my crochet flower bookmark for?
This bookmark makes a great gift for any book-loving family member or friend. It can also be used to add a charming embellishment for gift-wrapping, books, and so much more!
If you just want to crochet the top of the flower you could use it to accent jewelry, hair accessories, hats, and gifts. The possibilities are truly endless.
My personal favorite thing to do with crochet flowers is to use them to customize my faux fur amigurumi creations! Crochet flowers add the perfect feminine touch to any amigurumi project and give it a cute and whimsical touch.

What color should I use to create my crochet flower bookmark?
Oh, now that’s the fun part! The different color combinations for creating your crochet bookmark are truly exciting! You can be dramatic with bold corresponding colors, or soft and gentle with pastel complimentary colors. I suggest you consider the final usage of the crochet flower bookmark, and the personality of the user to customize you crochet flower bookmark. But, if you happen to choose the wrong colors, or have a better color combination in mind, then you can have fun making them over and over!
What type of yarn should I use for my crochet flower bookmark?
A worsted weight yarn works the best for this crochet flower bookmark. If you use a heavy weight yarn it will be to fat to put into a book. BUT, if you want to make the flower to accent another project, then you can use any weight yarn you want, just make sure to adjust your hook size to the recommended size for your chosen yarn.

How to Crochet a Flower Bookmark: The Pattern:
We will begin by making the inside of the flower, then the outer flower, then move on to the steam and leaves.
How To Crochet The Flower:
Using color A (the color you want for the center of flower) and 6 mm crochet hook:
Rnd 1: Make a MC and chain 1, sc 12 into ring, sl st to join. (12)
Now you will work with the other color you want for your flower and begin making the pedals:
Rnd 2: Ch 2, make a treble crochet bobble over 2 sts, ch 2, and sl st into the last st you worked into, then *sl st in next st, ch 2, treble crochet over 2 stitches (going into the st where you made a sl st, and in the next st), repeat repeat from* to end of rnd. (6 pedals)
Green Stem:

Row 1: Ch 21, hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in ea st across. (20)
Tie off leaving about a 12 tail to sew onto the flower.
Leaves:
make 2 leaves, you will crochet the leaves onto the stem:
For the first leaf, you will count up from the bottom of stem (the side with no tails) 11 sts.
Insert your hook into the 11th st and pull the yarn through,
Row 1: Ch 2, dc 4 into the same st. (4)
Row 2: Ch 1, hdc over all 4 sts. (1)
