If your hobbies are reading and crocheting, you can combine them and use your own handmade crochet bookmark to save your place in your next read.
In this post, I’m sharing 15 free crochet bookmark patterns.
As a note, the bookworm listed in this roundup isn’t a bookmark but an “assistant for reading.” I thought that this was the cutest thing and something that a book lover would like to crochet.
