✳ Gather your supplies

  • Cotton yarn (sport or DK weight works nicely)
  • A hook appropriate for your yarn
  • Scissors and a tapestry needle

For this slim bookmark, all you need are chain and single crochet stitches. The result is a thoughtful gift for a book-loving friend. US crochet terminology is used.

Make the bookmark

  1. Chain 26.
  2. Work 1 single crochet in the second chain from your hook and in each chain across (25 stitches).
  3. Chain 1, turn. Work 1 single crochet in each stitch across (25 stitches).
  4. Repeat the previous row until the strip has five rows total, or until it’s the width you like.
  5. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Add a tassel

Cut three short lengths of yarn, fold them in half, and attach them through an end stitch with a lark’s head knot. Trim evenly.

Try another variation

Use variegated yarn for a playful look, or try one row in a contrasting color. Avoid bulky yarn if you prefer a bookmark that sits flat inside a book.
