Crochet Cross Bookmark, Free Vintage Pattern






The pattern for this bookmark is from Crochet and Tatting Heirloom Edition, Star Book #66 by American Thread Company, 1949.

I used a steel hook size 1.25 mm and size ten crochet cotton thread. You will also need about 1/4 yard of narrow ribbon.

I post the pattern below exactly as it appears in the original publication.

Suggestion: Use a bit of clear glue to secure the ends of the ribbon




Ch 11, dc in 4th st from hook, ch 2, skip 2 sts of ch, sl st in next st, ch 2, skip 2 sts of ch, 1 dc in each of the next 2 sts, ch 3, turn.


2nd Row - dc in next dc, ch 5, 1 dc in next dc, dc in 3rd st of ch, ch 3, to turn each row.

3rd Row - Repeat 2nd row.

4th Row - dc in next dc, ch 2, skip 2 sts of ch, sl st in next st, ch 2, 1 dc in next dc, dc in 3rd st of ch.

Repeat 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rows 8 times, break thread. Attach threat in top of dc of 22nd row and working alone side, ch 3, dc in next st, ch 5, skip 1 row, 1 dc in each of the next 2 sts, ch 3, turn.

Repeat 2nd, 4th, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rows once, break thread. Work other arm of cross to correspond.

EDGE - Attach thread at lower edge, *ch 3, dc in same space, skip the length of a dc, sl st in next st, repeat from * all around, break thread. Lace ribbon through beading as illustrated.

  2. So pretty, Olga! I just bought three tiny crochet bookmarks fro a garage sale. The lady also made knitted booties that are sweet. I used to work well with thin cotton but find it difficult now. Your work is beautiful!
