Want an absolute beginner crochet project?

I’ve got the perfect crochet pattern for beginners for you!

DESCRIPTION

The Beginner Bookmark is the perfect very first crochet project! It uses basic stitches, and is a smaller project, so you can practice learning crochet without being intimated by a large project.

And if you’re wanting to learn a new skill, but still have a beginner project, you can change colors and make your bookmark two-toned!

Don’t be intimidated by the color change.

Give it a shot! I walk through a slow demonstration in the video tutorial, so you can do it!

THE YARN

For this bookmark, I used #4 worsted weight yarn. I chose Lion Brand Yarn Pima Cotton because it is a durable yarn that washes well if needed.

The colors I used in the pictures are “Rose Taupe” “Vintage”, and “Mineral Yellow”.

DIFFICULTY

This Beginner Bookmark is considered a very first crochet project level easy. You will only be doing chains and single crochets in small rows, so it is a perfect project to practice working in rows with basic stitches.

A full video tutorial is also included, so scroll down if you learn better with video.
