Learn how to crochet a quick and easy daisy bookmark with this free step-by-step pattern and video tutorial. With this pattern, you’ll be able to make it in a size that suits your needs by simply adding or removing crochet flowers, making a perfect bag charm or keychain. Why not make a larger daisy chain and make it into a cute hairband?
This beginner-friendly project makes a beautiful gift for friends, family, teachers and little bookworms too.
What Will I Learn?
In this blog you will learn how to crochet a daisy with a few basic stitches and then join more flowers to create this adorable daisy chain inspired bookmark. There’s also a video tutorial to help guide you with this make if you’re not confident with written patterns yet. I recommend you follow the written pattern and the video at the same time to help learn how to read a pattern.
If you’re not sure about double crochet, half treble crochet and treble crochet stitches (UK terms), you can click the names of them in the terms and abbreviations section, which will take you to the step by step video tutorials.
I have also included a tools and materials section with links, so you know where to go shopping for everything you need to complete the project.
At the base of this post, I have suggested other floral projects to get your hook into after you complete this one, and some floral stitches you could try when making your next project.
