Would you like to add spring charm to your reading time? This Puff Flower Bookmark crochet pattern from Crochetpedia is made just for that! It’s great for keeping or gifting to a fellow book lover. Make sure to add it to your project list!
Why Make This Puffy Flower Bookmark
I’m sure you will agree with me that these crochet flower bookmarks look fabulous. Featuring a cute leaf bottom, long stem, and dazzling puffy blossom, it’s a reading accessory every literature fan would like to have!
It works not only as a decorative piece, but also as a functional item. Thanks to its clever design, the stem tucks neatly inside the book, while the flower and leaf tip remain beautifully visible. Use it while reading your favorite books, and you’ll never lose your place again!
Yarn & Hook Recommendations
If you want to crochet your own flower bookmark, you will need just a 2.5 mm crochet hook and some yarn. The samples seen in the photo were made with Scheepjes Catona. It’s a 100% cotton fingering yarn that offers high durability, good stitch definition, and great colors.
Since you need just three shades in super small amounts to create this bookmark, you will easily find some lonely yarn scraps or skeins that will work.
Crocheting Your Bookmark with Puff Stitches
This crochet bookmark pattern is very quick to make. You will need from 15 to 30 minutes to complete it, especially if you have worked puff stitches before. There are several variations of this technique used in the project, but don’t worry – the designer explains more advanced stitches at the beginning.
Crocheting the bookmark begins with the leaves at the bottom, followed by chaining the stem, and finally creating the flower’s head using puff stitches. Once done, you won’t be able to resist making another one!

What Are the Bookmark’s Measurements
The Puff Flower Bookmarks are 23 cm (about 9”) long when made with suggested supplies. Their length, however, is very easy to customize. All you need to do to make it longer is add a few extra stitches to the chain stem before you proceed to work the flower head.
FAQ
Will the puff stitch flower flatten in a book?
Not at all! Kate designed this bookmark in such a way that the flower and leaf parts stick out safely when the book is closed. This leaves only the stem piece inside, which acts as a page marker.
