Hello my friends! 

If like me you’re in the UK then you’ll probably know that tomorrow is Mothering Sunday, so this week I wanted to post a super quick crochet flower bookmark idea/pattern tutorial.

They don’t even need to be limited to bookmarks either, they look super cute tied onto bags or even door handles!

I’ve only really just started learning to crochet (I’m teaching myself!) but these bookmarks are so simple to make. To start this mini project off I bought a pack of Hello 100% Cotton 12 Ball Yarn Pack – in a mix off bright and happy colours, but to be honest flowers come in so many shades I don’t think it really matters what ones you use.

Over the last week or so I’ve made almost thirty to gift to the important women in my life and thought I’d share a couple of patterns incase you wanted to whip up a couple yourself!

*Made using a 2.5mm hook*

*I’m not super knowledgeable about all the terms*

(DC) double crochet

(SC) single crochet

(TR) treble

(DTR) double treble

(SS) slip stitch

(CH) chain

Weave the end in nicely.

Hopefully you were able to follow that!

I’ve literally caught the bug on making these and eventually I’m going to write down all the different patterns I’ve come up with and possibly make a whole post of flower patterns.

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my first crochet tutorial! Do you think other crochet projects might be fun to post? Would you be interested in other flower patterns? As ever I wish you a truly wonder filed week ahead!!

Ps. Happy Mother’s Day!
