The Evergreen Bookmark Crochet Pattern is an easy crochet bookmark that you can make using some simple yarn scraps!
Sometimes I find it hard to toss or give away the scraps and small amounts of yarn that I have left over from a larger project. And I am sure I am not alone! Not too long ago I finished the samples of a couple of projects that will be post on Rich Textures Crochet later this year that used the Valley Tweed Yarn by Rowan. I love this yarn and was left with some small amounts that I knew I had to keep.
I started using some of these partial skeins of yarn to make bookmarks for the books I was working my way through which included designing this Evergreen Bookmark Crochet Pattern.
The Evergreen Bookmark is a simple crochet design. It’s completed in only a few rows and features an interesting design created with spike stitches. There is lots of room to play with the colour – work it in one colour, two as I have, or more. I added a tassel to the end just to dress it up a little bit more.
