Crochet Toadstool Mushroom Bookmark – FREE CROCHET PATTERN

Hello!

Happy New Year! To start the year off, I want to share the pattern for a crochet toadstool mushroom bookmark. I finally had time over the holidays to record and take pictures of the bookmark so I could share the pattern. This uses a small amount of yarn and of you aren’t comfortable making french knots you can just make small short stitches with a tapestry needle and yarn to make the spots for the mushroom. It will look cute either way!

Let’s get started!
