The Yarn
I chose a sport (#2) weight yarn for this crochet bookmark, WeCrochet Comfy Sport. It is thin, making the bookmark not too bulky in the book, and it is a cotton blend which keeps it sturdy and holds it’s shape.
Comfy Sport is made with 75% Pima Cotton and 25% Acrylic. It comes in a large variety of beautiful colors! It can also be machine washed and dried.
It is one of my all-time favorite yarns, and it works so well for this crochet bookmark project!
Bookmark Details
The Book Bestie crochet bookmark measures 2″ wide by 6″ long. It can easily be adjusted to be longer by simply adding more rows.
It is beginner friendly, using only chains and the double crochet stitch.
A full pattern tutorial is also available to view on YouTube!
