Basic Lace Easy Crochet Bookmark

This basic lace crochet bookmark is crocheted in a DK weight yarn, which helps to avoid excess bulk. The finished size measures 2.25 inches wide, which means that if you wanted to crochet this in a thread you could do that and still end up with a decent width of the bookmark. As for the height, it is easy to adjust by the number of rows you complete.

It’s a very simple pattern, but features a simple lace. And it’s easy enough for a beginner to master as well.

Other bookmarks here on CNC include this small doily bookmark, the tasseled flower bookmark, and the slanted puffs bookmark. Or, you might also enjoy the collection over at Crochet Pattern Bonanza: Crochet Bookmarks.
