Garden Fence Bookmark Crochet Pattern

Are you looking for a little crochet to add to your next read? Learn to crochet a beautiful bookmark with this Garden Fence Bookmark crochet pattern.

Now that we are heading into the fall and winter months, it’s time to break out the cozy reading socks and blanket, grab a cup of tea, and pull out your next book! But don’t forget your crochet bookmark!

I love crocheting bookmarks. They are small projects that are practical, quick to make, enjoy and give as gifts.

I have designed a number of crochet bookmark patterns that are available here on Rich Textures Crochet including the Suzette Bookmark and the Dainty Daisy Bookmark. One of my most popular patterns is the Crescent Bookmark.

The Design:

The Garden Fence Bookmark is quite simple to work. It features a solid single crochet foundation on which you will then work some simple surface crochet slip stitches to create a vine and then add some simple flower motifs.

I love that you can change up the vine design quite easily and for your flowers you can work them all the same colour or in multiple depending on the yarn you have on hand. I’ve added three flowers to my bookmark but you may wish to add more or less!

The Materials:

I enjoy working my bookmarks in a 100% cotton yarn.  I am using a light weight yarn by Yarnspirations called Patons Grace.  You can learn more about it here: You can learn more about it here: Paton’s Grace – Yarnspirations.com

For this project you will also need a 3.5 mm (E/4) crochet hook.
