A Collection of Crochet Flower Bookmarks

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!

This is the fifth World Turtle and my growing collection now contains Spring, Autumn, Winter and Valentines illustrations and now I can add a Mothers day one too!!!

So this painting features not one, but three World Turtles – a mummy and two hatchlings!

Foliage wise the trees and bushes are in bright shades of green.
