Cherry Blossom Bookmark




Using some leftover yarn, I decided to do a quick project, and I came up with this charming bookmark.

Materials: 
Any yarn, and smallest hook size for that yarn to get a tight gauge.


Directions:
* Using magic ring, draw up loop, ch 1, 5 sc into ring, sl st into 1st sc, pull ring tight.
* Ch 1, sc in same st, (ch 4, sc in next st) 5 times, finishing w/sl st in 1st sc.
* Sl st into 1st ch-4 space, ([ch 1, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, ch 1, sl st] in ch-4 space, sl st in next ch-4 space) 5 times, finishing w/sl st in 1st sl st.
* Ch 45 or 55 (depending on yarn weight and how long you want your bookmark; more ch's for smaller yarn weights).
* Sl st in 4th ch from hook to create a ring, bring yarn behind the chain, ch 1 around the chain to lock it in place.
* (Ch 1, dc, ch 1, sc) 5 times in ring, finishing w/sl st in the locking ch-1.
* Bind off, weave in ends. Pin and block the chain to straighten if desired. Shape the petals of the large flower with the press of a thumb into each petal.

The original pattern is found on this blog.

Enjoy Crocheting!
