Crochet Bunny Ears Bookmark

All book lovers, listen up! This crochet pattern is for you! How many times have you used any old scrap of paper to mark a page? How many times have you put your book down, picked it back up, realised that you've lost your page and then had to sit there in frustration as you try to find it again? As a bookworm myself, I can completely relate to this. That is why I thought it was high time that I designed a crocheted bookmark... and a super cute one at that. Because - if I do say so myself - this bookmark is unbelievably cute. Plus, it is super easy and quick to make.

So, lets get started...

---

My Yarn Recommendations:

For these bookmarks, I use a DK (double knit) acrylic yarn. I would recommend a similar weight - you don't want to use a chunky yarn as this will create a very thick bookmark! You coud also use cotton or a more natural fibre, if you have it!

You'll also need two colours: pink and light brown. The pink (I use quite a light shade) is for the middle of the bunny ears; the light brown is for the outer part and the main section of the bookmark. You could also use dark brown, cream, or even grey (whatever colour would work for a bunny, really!)

What Crochet Hook Should I Use?

For this pattern, you can use either a 3mm or 3.5mm crochet hook. I've used both sizes and they work brilliantly for this pattern. Using a bigger or smaller hook will change the size of your bookmark a little, so I think it really comes down to personal preference!

What You Will Need:

• a DK yarn of your choice in light brown and pink (see the notes here on choosing the right type and colour)

• a 3mm or 3.5mm crochet hook (see the notes here on choosing the right hook)

• a pair of scissors

• a darning needle

• a small white pompom (optional)

Stitch Abbreviations:

• sc: single crochet

• hdc: half double crochet

• dc: double crochet

• tr: treble crochet

• sl st: slip stitch

• ch(s): chain(s)

Pattern Notes:

• This pattern is written in US crochet terms, not UK. If you are unsure about the difference between these two terms, check out my blog post here where I explain it in detail.

• The chain 1at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch.

• We will start by creating the ears. From here, we will then join them together and then crochet the bookmark.

Special Stitches (sc decrease):

• Insert your hook into the stitch.

• Yarn over and pull up a loop.

• Insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (you'll have 3 loops on your hook).

• Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

Method:

Row 1:

• With your pink yarn, ch 8.

• Starting in the 2nd chain from your hook, make 1sc in each ch (7sc in total).

• Fasten off and cut your yarn.

Row 2:

• Attach your brown yarn to the bottom right side of your sc section.

• Ch 1, and make 1sc in the same stitch.

• Working up the first side of your pink chain, make: 1hdc in the next 2 stitches, 1dc in the next 3 stitches, 2dc in the next stitch.

• In the next stitch, make: 1dc, 1tr, 1dc (this stitch is at the top of the ear).

• Working down the other side, make: 2dc in the next stitch, 1dc in the next 3 stitches, 1hdc in the next stitch, and 1sc in the last stitch.

• Fasten off and cut your yarn.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create the other ear. Once you have done this, sew in any ends that you have.

Joining the Ears Together:

Row 1:

• Begin by taking one of your ears. Attach your brown yarn to the bottom corner and then ch 1.

• Make 4sc along the bottom edge of the ear.

• Ch 1.

• Working into your second ear, make 4sc along the bottom edge.

• Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch) and turn your work.

Row 2:

• Make 1sc in the first 3 stitches.

• In the 4th stitch, make 1 sc decrease, skipping over your ch 1 in between the two ears. (see above on how to make a sc decrease).

• Make 1sc in the last 3 stitches.

• Ch 1 and turn your work.

Row 3:

• Make 1sc into each stitch across (7sc in total).

• Ch 1 and turn your work.

Row 4-35:

• Make 1hdc in each stitch across (you will have 7hdc in total).

• Chain 1 and turn.

Fasten off, cut your yarn, and sew in any ends.

Option Step:

• Create a pompom using a yarn of your choice.

• Take your pompom and sew it to the end of your bookmark.
