Ribbon
For the ribbon, I used this pattern. Attach your black thread as described below, then follow the bookmark pattern, alternating between black and white rows.

In black, starting 3 st left of the center of the nose, attach thread and ch 50 (or however long you want your paci chain to be).
Continue with bookmark pattern.


Loop
In the center of the end of the paci ribbon, attach black thread, make a chain until it's long enough to be able to go through a paci handle, and attach it in a loop to the paci ribbon.

Embroider eyes, a smile, a tuft of hair, and sew on the clip. :-)

Ear Saver Crochet Mask Extension Pattern


Here is my pattern for this Ear Saver mask extension. The pattern is extremely adjustable.
The length you need to make will also depend on the width of your head.
I didn't want mine too wide, so I just used sc, but if you wanted a wider band, you could use hdc or dc or just complete row 2 all the way around.

For the buttons, it seemed like it needed to be a large button so you could slip the band off more easily. Also, you don't want the button too flush against the crocheted strip, otherwise the button won't stay on. I ended up seeing my buttons on backwards so the ridged, decorative edge would push the button out from the strip somewhat.

Chain 21
1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, 19 sc. 3 sc in last stitch. Continuing in the back loop of the chains, 18 sc. 2 sc in last stitch.
2: sl st in 1st sc, ch 1, skip the stitch you sl st in and 19 sc. Sl st in next stitch then finish off with invisible join.
Weave in tail.
Sew on a large button on each end.

Teacup or Coffee Cup Coaster Crochet Pattern




This is the back of the coaster
I made some coasters using Repeat After Me's pattern. The original coaster turned out very well, but I needed it a bit larger.
I enlarged the pattern and added the instructions below.

Original pattern
Base: 1.25"
Middle width: 2.25"
Height: 2.25"

Larger pattern (below)
Base: 2"
Middle width: 3"
Height: 3"

I made the pattern larger by 3 stitches. Here are the instructions for the larger coaster.

Start with ch 10
Add 3 SC to the middle of each row.
Add 3 rows in the 8-12 row instructions
Add 3 ch + 3 hdc to handle.
I finished off before making the handle and just started with a sl st a few rows down.

Block after finishing. (I got mine soaking wet, shaped it, laid it on a washcloth, then folded the cloth over it. Then I placed a heavy weight on it until it was dry.)

Crochet Frog Applique or Bookmark Pattern

I used this pattern to make my frog. When I finished the frog, I just added a crocheted ribbon to the bottom part of the frog to make it a bookmark.
The only picture I took was before I added the bookmark part...

Tiny Peony Flower Barrette


This is a flower barrette I made using 3 peony flowers crocheted from this pattern.
I used the larger flower pattern and used 1 strand of embroidery thread. They ended up being about 1/4 of an inch wide.
After I made all three, I sewed them onto the barrette.

Kitten Bookmark


This is a kitten bookmark I made from this pattern.
I ended up making my kitten head bigger because it wasn't large enough for a bookmark, then I finished it by following the instructions below.
Making sure it is centered between the ears,
Row 1: sc 10, ch 1, turn.
Row 2: dc 10, ch 2, turn.
Repeat row 2 until desired length.
Finish off, weave in ends, and embroider face.

Monkey Bookmark




This is a monkey bookmark I made. I based mine off this pattern, but didn't want to have to sew the ears on separately, so revised it.
In white:
Make a magic circle.
round 1: ch 2, 13 dc into magic circle, join with slip st
round 2: ch 2, 2 dc into each dc around join with slip st
round 3: ch 1, skip 1, 7 dc into next st, skip 1, slip st in next st, sc into next dc, skip 1 dc, 7 dc into next st, skip 1, slip st in next 2 sts; 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 trc in same st, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 trc in same st; 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, slip into beginning stitch
round 4: 1 sc, 7 hdc, 1 sc, slip st, 1 sc, 7 hdc, 1 sc, slip st, 1 sc, 2 hdc, 2 hdc into next st, 8 hdc, 2 hdc into next st, 2 hdc, 1 sc, slip st to beg.
Finish off and change to brown.
In brown:
Start where you left off with the white and 
round 4: Sc 7, hdc, dc, hdc, sc 7. In row below (you will be going past the row you should be working and crocheting in the previous row so the eyes stand out better) hdc, dc, hdc. In the correct row sc 3, 2 sc in the same stitch , sc 8, 2 sc in same, sc 4. In row below hdc,dc,hdc. In correct row, sl st.

round 5: Ch 2, Dc , 2 dc in same st, dc 7, 2 Dc in same st. Dc 10, 2 Dc in same st, dc 10, 2 Dc in same st, dc 7, sl st.

Round 6: 2 sc in next 4 st, SC 5, 2 sc in next 4 st, SC 3, (hdc, dc, 2 TRC, dc, hdc) SC, sl st, ch 1, turn, SC 7, sl st, turn, ch 1, sc 7,sl st, SC 2, 2 SC in next 4, SC 7, 2 SC in next 4, SC 3, sl st.
Finish off and weave in tail.
For the bookmark part, I counted from ear to ear to make sure I had it evenly spaced - mine ended up being positioned with 8 stitches between the bookmark part and the bottom of the ear.
Row 1: Sl st 10, ch 1, turn.
Row 2: dc 10 across, ch 1, turn.
Repeat row 2 until desired length.
Finish off and weave in ends.
Embroider face.

Crochet Bookmark


This is a crocheted bookmark that I made using a bracelet pattern then adding a border. Here is the link to the bracelet pattern. I am copying the pattern here in a format that is easier to read and adding the border pattern, but the original pattern came from bhg.com.

I used a size 9 - 1.40 mm hook and one strand of embroidery thread.

Ch 8. 

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn. (7 st)

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), skip 1st st, dc next st, sk 1 st, 5 dc in next st, sk 1 st, dc in last 2 sts. 

Row 3: Ch 3, sk 1st st, dc in next st, ch 1, sk 2 sts, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next st, ch 1, sk 2 sts, dc in last 2 sts.

Continue all the way around the bookmark, sl st into the base of the first 3 sc st, then finish off.

Flower Bookmark from Petals to Picots


This is a flower bookmark from Petals to Picots. The pattern is for a bracelet but I didn't sew it into a circle and am using it as a bookmark. Here is the pattern - Flower Bookmark Pattern.
I used one strand of embroidery thread so it would be thin enough to fit inside of a book.

Pretty Lace Crochet Bookmark from Petals to Picots



Here area couple of lace bookmarks I made using the pattern from the Petals to Picots blog.
I tend to crochet tightly, so I just chained until it looked like the right length for a bookmark then followed the rest of the pattern.
I used one strand of embroidery thread so it would be small enough to fit inside a book.
I used ribbon for the pink bookmark, but just used thread woven in and out of the holes for the blue bookmark.

Lace Crochet Bookmark



Thses are a couple of lace crochet bookmark that I made from a lace bracelet then added a border.
Here is the link to the bracelet that I based it off of - Lace Crochet Bookmark.
   For the blue bookmark, I followed the instructions for the bracelet and made it as long as I wanted, then instead of finishing off, I chained 5, then single crocheted in the top of the clusters all the way down the side, bottom, then up to the top again. I slip stitched in the base of the first ch 5 and finished off.
   For the orange and white bookmark, I followed the instructions for the bracelet and made it as long as I wanted, then instead of finishing off, I chained 3, sc in space, ch 2, sc in same space around.
After weaving in the ends, I blocked it.
I used one strand of embroidery thread so it would be very thin.

Knit Headband with Crocheted Flower

It doesn't really matter what size yarn you use because there aren't a specific number of rows.

Headband:
Cast on 8 St.
Knit for as many rows as you need to fit around the head (about 16 in. long).
Cast off.
Sew ends together.

Sl st = Slip Stitch

Sc = Single Crochet
Ch = Chain
Flower:
Round 1: 5sc in magic circle, Sl st in 1st sc.
Round 2: *Ch 3, sl st in next st. Repeat from * around. For the last ch, sl st into the 1st st of the 1st ch.
Round 3: *Ch 5 (make sure the 1st chain is loose enough), skip the ch, sl st in the base of the next ch. Repeat from * around.
Cut the yarn and finish off.
Pull the tail through the 2nd round through the back (so it is sticking out the front), then pull it through the center hole (so it is in the back).
Sew on to headband.
