Crochet Bookmark Patterns
Crochet bookmark patterns make slim strips or small shapes that mark a page, often finished with a tassel or a charm at the top. Cotton crochet thread keeps bookmarks thin enough not to damage book spines. Most take less than an hour and use very little thread, making them thoughtful gifts for readers.

What thread should you use for a crochet bookmark?
Use size 10 cotton crochet thread with a 1.5–1.75 mm steel hook for a thin bookmark that closes flat inside a book. Sport-weight cotton works for chunkier bookmarks that sit on top of pages or hang out of the spine.
Frequently asked questions
How long is a crochet bookmark?
Usually 6–8 inches, not counting tassels.
How do I stiffen a bookmark?
Block it and use a light spray starch so it stays flat.
