If you have friends who are avid readers or you love books, you'll probably appreciate this gorgeous bookmark pattern. As an avid reader myself, I love using bookmarks instead of folding down pages or corners. Sometimes even a piece of paper would do but why not be a bit more classy and use a cute bookmark?
There are so many gorgoeus crochet patterns and this Fan Bookmark by Crochetroo is one of them. The ease of the pattern makes it a great first project and also great for an introduction to lace crochet. Great as a gift, looks beautiful and complicated but doesn’t take much effort once you’ve mastered it.
I make these for the school fete. I also did a heap at Christmas to put in the cards, and have a few on hand as a “Thank – yous” and Birthday Gifts, Mothers Day etc.They sell like crazy at charity fundraisers. I enjoy making them in different colours, and mount them on a piece of card with some words scribbled on. ala Happy Reading, Thinking of you etc.. Depends how soppy I am feeling .

What a nice idea! These would make nice gifts and you could give a book to someone and add the bookmark too
I made one of these as a secret Santa gift last year… They are so pretty, and they work up quickly once you get the hang of it.
Nice
I can’t seem to find the link for this pattern. Everything I clicked on takes me to a Publishers Clearing house ad. 🙁

How can this be considered a “free” pattern, when you go to the pattern it says you cannot reproduce in any way — copy and paste, whatever????? Is it necessary to copy (write) the pattern from the page – does that also infringe on “copyright”??? Love the pattern, but have a problem with this. Any info is appreciated.
Beautiful!!!
pretty love the color
Nikki Owen – how pretty is this!!? x
