Easy Crochet Bookmarks

I love reading books, especially the paper ones, because they have such a nice feel and smell to it. Of course I occasionally use a kindle to take with me, but nothing will be ever as great as opening a new book. Unfortunately, I think we all sometimes forget which page was the last we’ve read.

To solve this little problem, you can make an amazing, crochet bookmark for yourself, that will make your reading a lot easier (and more pleasant, because who doesn’t love a nice, original bookmark, right?). You’ll need only a little bit of leftover yarn and an hour to spare. Such amazing bookmarks will also make a great gift! Remember that great tools will help you make great crochet pieces, so see our selection of the best crochet hooks for beginners. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.

Granny Square Bookmark

A classical read needs classical accessory. And there’s nothing more needed by book lovers than a proper bookmark. The granny square bookmark pattern combines all those characteristics in one piece of handcraft. This is a fun and easy project that won’t take too much of your time. Use the thinner yarn so that the granny bookmark will be gentle on your books and won’t deform them.
