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!
For this bookmark, I used #4 worsted weight yarn. I chose Lion Brand Yarn Pima Cottonbecause 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.
Step 1: Using a tapestry needle, weave in beginning tail
Step 2: Cut 5, 4” strands for the fringe
Step 3: Insert your hook into a stitch on the last row
Step 4: Fold one strand of fringe in half forming a loop on one end and place onto hook
Step 5: Grab 2 tails ends and draw through the loop
Step 6:Pull tight
Step 7: Rep across for a total of 5 fringe
Step 8: Separate each fringe. You may find it easier to comb through with a sewing needle
Step 9: Cut fringe to same length
Step 10: Block bookmark using a steamer so the bookmark lays flat
And that’s how you make the Beginner Keychain Wristlet!
