Mushroom Bookmark


Summer is coming to an end. Fall is coming. So are all the crochet mushrooms. :)

Honestly, I don't like mushrooms. To eat, I mean. I do like the look of them and like searching for them in the woods. Finding a red-with-white-spots mushroom is always the goal for me. We don't see them that often in the Netherlands, although they are not really rare. We call them "vliegenzwam", which directly translates to "fly fungus".

About this mushroom bookmark

This mushroom bookmark is a small and fun crochet project that doesn't require much yarn. The mushroom cap measures approximately 6 cm ( 2.36 inches) and you can easily adjust the length of the bookmark to fit different books. Because it uses only basic stitches and doesn't require any sewing or difficult colour changes, it is a great project for beginners. It would also make a cute little handmade gift for a book lover.

This pattern is very quick and easy, and it's no-sew! We all love a good no-sew project.

Happy crocheting!



Materials:
3.0 mm hook
DK yarn in 2 colours
darning needle
scissors

Abbreviations (US):
ch = chain
inc = increase
dec = decrease
sc = single crochet 
sl st = slip stitch

Pattern:

Start with Mushroom Cap Colour.
Work in rows. After turning, always start in the second stitch from the hook. 

R1: ch 3, turn
R2: 2 sc, ch 1, turn (2)
R3: 2 inc, ch 1, turn (4) 


R4: inc, 2 sc, inc, ch 1, turn (6)
R5: 6 sc, ch 2, turn (7)
R6: 7 sc, ch 3, turn (9)
R7: 9 sc, ch 3 (11)
R8: 11 sc (11)
Ch 1, then sc around the sides (8) and the top (3) of the cap. ch 1, sl st to the first sc.
Fasten off.



Continue with Stem Colour.
Turn your work upside down.
Attach your Stem Colour with a slip knot to the 5th stitch from the right.
R1-5: 4 sc, ch 1, turn (4). Crochet over the yarn tail, so that it is woven in.


R6: 2 dec, ch 1, turn (2)
R7: dec (1)



Chain as many as you need to make your bookmark long enough to fit your books. I needed about 60 chains to make a 25 cm (9.8 inches) long stem.

You will now make the roots:
Ch 5, turn, sl st 4.
Ch 7, turn, sl st 6.
Ch 10, turn, sl st 9.
Ch 6, turn, sl st 5.
Sl st to the first root and fasten off. Leave a tail to sew the holes in the middle of the roots closed.




If you want longer roots, simply make longer chains and make more slip stitches accordingly!



Finished your bookmark?

I hope you enjoyed making this little mushroom bookmark! If you share your project on Instagram, I'd love to see it. Tag me at @katescozycrochet.

FAQ:

Can I make this mushroom bookmark with a different yarn weight?
Yes, definitely. But I would recommend only going down in yarn weight. Your book might not close well with thicker yarn.

How long should the bookmark be?
Use a book to measure. I'm not sure if books around the world are all the same size. Also, hardcover and paperback books are often not the same size.
It's better to be on the safe side and make your bookmark a little too long rather than too short.

Can I sell finished bookmarks made from this pattern?
Yes! Feel free to sell finished bookmarks made from this pattern. I would really appreciate it if you could credit me as the pattern designer.

Free Crochet Pattern No-Sew Cauldron of Potions Pincushion

Free Crochet Pattern  No-Sew Cauldron of Potions Pincushion About this Pattern Years ago, I crocheted a little coffee cup to use as a pincushion. It actually turned out pretty cute and I was quite happy with it, but it doesn't really fit me. I don't even drink coffee! And to be honest, there is something else that has been secretly annoying me all these years: I sewed the handle of the cup on the wrong way around.  Now that I write my own crochet patterns, I decided it was time to make a new pincushion. One that suits me a little better. I love cozy things, but I also have a soft spot for spooky things. And since Halloween is almost here, the idea for a little witch's cauldron was born. With bright colours inside, because I wanted it to look both poisonous and cheerful at the same time. You can change the colours to make another type of potion. Maybe a Love Potion with three pink yarns? Add a little sparkle with a sparkly yarn? If you find the three-colour spiral too fiddly...

About this Pattern: Since I was very young, my family has always had dachshunds. We had two when I was growing up, and the second one was quite a character. She was incredibly fast and seemed to chew through absolutely everything. I still remember waking up one morning to find her running around the living room after she had chewed her way through her dog bed. My parents still have one dachshund today. Sadly, our other dachshund passed away three months ago. They have decided not to get another one, as they would like to travel more. I don't have any pets myself. I would love to have a dog, but with both of us working, we don't feel it's the right choice for us at the moment. And, to be completely honest, my boyfriend isn...
