Crochet Lily of the Valley Flower Bookmark

I think this is my favourite crochet pattern that I have designed. I absolutely adore this crochet flower bookmark, and I hope you will too!

Whether you are a book lover yourself or know someone who is, this Lily of the Valley bookmark is the perfect bookish gift. Not only is it super handy (when is a bookmark not?!) but it also looks gorgous!

So, without further ado, let's get into the pattern!

Pattern Notes:

• This pattern is worked in UK terms (you can find my post explaining the difference between UK and US terms here).

Method:

The Flower:

Round 1:

• Begin by making a magic ring (if you are unsure how to do this, check out my post here).

• Chain 1.

• Into the ring, make 7dc.

• Slip stitch into the first dc to close the round.

Round 2:

• Chain 1.

• Make 2dc (aka, an increase) into each stitch around (14dc in total).

• Slip stitch into the first dc to close the round.

Round 3-5:

• Chain 1.

• Make 1dc into each stitch around (14dc in total).

• Slip stitch into the first dc to close the round.

Round 6:

• Chain 1.

• *Make 1dc, then 1 decrease.* Repeat around until you have 2 stitches left.

• Make 1dc into these last two stitches. (10dc in total)

• Slip stitch into the first dc to close the round.

Round 7:

• Chain 1.

• In the same stitch, make: 1dc, 1htr, 1tr.

• In the next stitch, make: 1tr, 1htr, 1dc.

• Repeat the last two steps around. You will make 5 petals in total.

• At the end, fasten off, cut your yarn and sew in any ends.

For the Vine:

Leaf 1:

• Chain 6.

• Slip stitch back into the first chain.

Leaves 2-5:

• Chain 18.

• Slip stitch into the 6th chain from your hook.

Creating the stem:

• When you have completed all 5 leaves, chain 16.

• We are now going to make a larger leaf. Starting in the 2nd chain from your hook, make: 1 slip stitch, 1dc, 1htr, and 1 slip stitch.

• Chain 7.

• Fasten off and cut your yarn, leaving a long tail end (we will use this to sew with later).

Optional Step:

• With your green yarn, chain 5.

• Starting in the 2nd chain from your hook, make: 1 slip stitch, 1dc, 1htr, and 1 slip stitch.

• Fasten off and cut your yarn, leaving a long tail end (for sewing with).

Assembling:

• Take the long tail end of your vine and, using your darning needle, sew it to the top of your flower.

• Then, take your other leaf and sew it onto the vine just above the flower.

• Sew in any loose ends.

And there you are! You now have your own crochet lily of the valley bookmark!
