Introduction & Supplies

Jen goes over the supplies you'll need to make your bookmark.
Foundation Chain
6:17
Learn how to create the foundation chain for the lace crochet bookmark. Jen demonstrates the process using both a worsted weight yarn with a larger hook for visibility and the actual yarn for the project. The process begins with making a slip knot, followed by chaining 15 stitches, making sure to maintain even tension throughout. Jen explains different ways to hold the yarn and hook to achieve this.
Working Shell Pattern into Foundation Chain

Jen shows how to create the first row of the lace crochet bookmark using a shell pattern: two double crochets, chain one, and two double crochets in the fifth chain from the hook. After three shells, the row ends with a double crochet into the last chain. Next, she’ll demonstrate how to continue the pattern in the following row.

Lovely and lacy, this crochet bookmark is the perfect project for any book lover. Not only is it quick to make, but it also allows you to build your crochet skills. This bookmark uses chains and double crochet stitches to create the tiny shell pattern. Once the foundation chain and first row is worked, it’s a one-row repeat for the remainder of the piece.
