Mini Amigurumi Crochet Sock Monkey Pattern




This is a miniature sock monkey that I made using the pattern from Amigurumi To Go. It is designed to be a larger monkey, but I used size 10 thread and a size 9 - 1.40 mm hook and it turned out about as long as my pointer finger.

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. 

Row 4: Ch 3, sk 1st st, dc in next st, sk ch 1 and next st, 5 dc in next ch 1 sp, sk next st and ch 1 sp, dc in last 2 dc.

Border: ch 1, turn, sc in next st, 3 sc in 5 dc st, sc in next st, 3 sc in the middle of the dc st, sc in the ch 3 st.

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.
