Written Pattern To The Crochet Sunflower Bookmark

We’ll start by making the brown center of the sunflower.

Round 1:

Firstly, create a magic circle. Then, work 6 single crochets (sc) into the circle. To finish the round, slip stitch (sl st) into the first sc, and then chain 1 (ch 1). (6 stitches)

Round 2:

Next, make 2 sc in each stitch around from the previous round. Finish with a sl st into the first sc, and then ch 1. (12 stitches)

Round 3:

Now, do 1 sc in the first stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (1 sc, 2 sc) throughout the round. End with a sl st into the first sc, and then ch 1. (18 stitches)

Round 4:

For this round, crochet 1 sc in each of the first two stitches, then do 2 sc in the third stitch. Continue this pattern (1 sc in each of the next two stitches, 2 sc in the following stitch) until the round is complete. Finish with a sl st into the first sc, and then ch 1. (24 stitches)

This forms the center of the sunflower, ready for the next steps!

Now, we’ll make the first layer of yellow petals:

Round 5:

To create the framework for the first layer of petals, start by attaching the yellow yarn with a slip stitch (sl st) to any stitch from Round 4. Chain 2 (ch 2), then skip the next stitch and sl st into the following stitch. Repeat this pattern—ch 2, skip 1 stitch, sl st into the next stitch—all the way around. Then finish the round with a sl st into the same stitch where you started, and ch 1 to secure. (12 ch-2 spaces)

Round 6:

Now, let’s make the petals. In each ch-2 space, work as follows:

• 1 single crochet (sc), followed by ch 2, then 1 double crochet (dc) in the same space, and 1 triple crochet (tc).
• Next, make a ch-3 picot.
• Then, in the same space, do 1 dc, followed by ch 2, and finish with 1 sc.

This completes your first petal. Move to the next ch-2 space and then repeat: 1 sc, ch 2, 1 dc, 1 tc, ch-3 picot, 1 dc, ch 2, 1 sc. Continue this pattern for all petals. End the round with a sl st into the first sc, and then ch 1 to secure. (You’ll have 12 petals, including 24 sc, 24 dc, 12 tc, 12 picots, and 24 ch-2 spaces.)

The first layer of petals is complete!

Round 7: Framework for the Second Layer of Petals

In this round, we’ll create the framework for the second layer of petals by working into the skipped stitches from Round 4, but in the opposite direction.

1. Turn your work so you’ll be working in reverse.
2. Locate the 12 skipped stitches from Round 4.
3. Insert your hook into the first skipped stitch of Round 4, then pull it through the ch-2 gap from Round 5, and draw the yarn through to make a slip stitch (sl st).
4. Chain 3 (ch 3), then sl st into the next skipped stitch of Round 4.
5. Repeat the pattern: ch 3, then sl st into the next skipped stitch, continuing all the way around.

Once you’ve completed the round, finish with a sl st into the same stitch where you began. Finally, secure with a ch 1. (You’ll have 12 ch-3 spaces ready for the second layer of petals.)

This completes the framework for the second layer of petals!

Round 8: Second Layer of Petals

Now, we’ll crochet the second layer of petals in each ch-3 space created in the previous round.

In the first ch-3 space, work the following:

• 1 single crochet (sc), followed by ch 3.
• Then, make 1 half triple crochet (htc) in the same space, followed by 1 triple crochet (tc).
• After that, create a ch-3 picot.
• To finish the petal, work 1 htc, followed by ch 3, and then end with 1 sc in the same space.

Move to the next ch-3 space and repeat:

• 1 sc, ch 3, 1 htc, 1 tc, ch-3 picot, 1 htc, ch 3, 1 sc.

Continue this pattern in all 12 ch-3 spaces, thus forming the second layer of petals.

Once all petals are done, finish the round with a sl st into the first sc, then ch 1 and cut the yarn.

(Total: 12 petals with 24 sc, 24 htc, 12 tc, 12 picots, and 24 ch-3 spaces)

The sunflower is now complete! 🌻

Creating the Green Stem and Leaves for the Sunflower Bookmark

Making the Stem:

1. Attach green yarn with a slip stitch (sl st) to any sc stitch from Round 8 of the sunflower.
2. Then chain 30 (ch 30) or adjust the number of chains based on the desired bookmark length.
3. Starting from the 2nd chain from the hook, work a sl st into each chain down the length of the stem.
4. Once you reach the end, sl st into the original sc stitch of the flower where you started the chains, and then a ch 1, and then cut the yarn to secure the stem.

Making the Leaf:

1. Chain 7 (ch 7) to start the leaf.
2. Then in the 2nd chain from the hook, do a sl st.
3. In the 3rd chain, work 1 single crochet (sc).
4. Then in the 4th chain, do 1 half double crochet (hdc).
5. In the 5th chain, work 2 double crochets (dc).
6. Then in the 6th chain, do 1 sc.
7. In the 7th chain, finish with a sl st.

Now, working on the other side of the chain, repeat:

1. Starting from the next chain, do 1 sc, followed by 2 dc in the next chain.
2. Work 1 hdc in the next chain, followed by 1 sc.
3. End with a sl st in the last chain, then ch 1 but do not cut the yarn.

Attaching the Leaf:

1. To attach the leaf to the stem, insert the hook into any desired stitch on the stem and make a sl st. Then, ch 1 and cut the yarn to secure the leaf.
2. Make another leaf, and attach it to the stem in the same stitch where you attached the first leaf.

Leaf Placement:

• You can position the leaves wherever you’d like along the stem. I attached the first pair of leaves at the 3rd stitch from the top of the stem, and the second pair at the 10th stitch. You can also add a third pair if you wish!

Adding a Tassel:

To give your sunflower bookmark an elegant finishing touch, consider attaching a yellow tassel to the end of the stem.

AND THE PATTERN IS COMPLETE! 🌻✨

Enjoy your beautiful sunflower bookmark! ♥️

Finishing Touches:

After completing your sunflower and stem, check for any loose ends and weave them in using your tapestry needle. If the petals are curling, you can lightly block the flower by pinning it down and misting it with water to help it hold its shape.

Tips for Crocheting a Sunflower Bookmark:

• Use cotton yarn for a sturdy, non-stretchy bookmark that lays flat in your book.
• Play with colors: You can change the petal colors or create multicolored sunflowers for a more vibrant look.
• Adjust the size: If you prefer a smaller sunflower, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook, or reduce the number of petals.

Whether you’re making it for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this crochet sunflower will be a joyful addition to any book lover’s collection.
