Crochet Daisy Bookmark Pattern
At the tail end of this past winter, I really started to crave spring. I like living with distinct seasons, but by the end of March I was ready for sunny skies and flowers blooming. I thought, if I can’t have flowers blooming in my yard yet, crochet flowers are the next best thing. That’s why I designed this free crochet daisy bookmark pattern for both of us!
Why a crochet bookmark? I got to thinking about bookmarks because of a Bible study I just joined. The study is on the book of Ephesians, but I’m also reading a book about Revelation on my own. I’ve found myself needing a new bookmark to easily flip back and forth in my Bible.
Once I got started with this idea, I actually designed not one but two bookmarks – a daisy and a sunflower! Sometimes when I get an idea, I have to try it a few different ways. You can find the sunflower bookmark pattern here.

Getting Started
You can make this crochet daisy bookmark with any yarn you have on hand. I tried out using both sport weight and worsted weight yarn. I ended up liking the result with sport weight yarn a little more, especially because the Scheepjes Stonewashed yarn colors have a two-toned look, but both options turned out really cute.
Whichever yarn weight you use, just adjust your hook size up or down accordingly. You really can’t go wrong with this pattern, so feel free so use whichever yarn and hook you have handy!
Free Crochet Daisy Bookmark Pattern
Materials Used:
- Yarn – Ricorumi in “Cream” and Scheepjes Stonewashed in “Yellow Jasper” and “New Jade” (these are sport weight yarns)
- Size 3.0mm crochet hook
- Stitch marker
- Yarn needle
- Scissors (for trimming ends)
- Optional: blocking board and pins
Stitches/Abbreviations Used:
- magic ring
- ch – chain
- R – round or row
- st/sts – stitch/stitches
- sc – single crochet
- hdc – half double crochet
- dc – double crochet
- sl st- slip stitch
- BLO – back loops only
Gauge/Finished Size:
Gauge is not essential for this pattern. With my own tension, for reference, the finished daisy flower measures about 2″ in diameter. The entire bookmark measures about 10″ from top to bottom.
Pattern Notes:
Chain stitches do not count towards the stitch count at the end of each row or round. Each row or round’s total stitches are marked in parentheses.
I recommend using a stitch marker to keep your place when working in the round on the daisy.
These stitches are small (especially if you’re using sport weight yarn and 3.00mm hook like me), so just watch your stitch placement carefully as you go.
Daisy Bookmark Crochet Pattern:
Flower
R1: Using yellow (pictured: Scheepjes “Yellow Jasper“), into a magic ring, ch 2, then 9 dc. Sl st in top of first dc to join. (9)
R2: Switching to white (pictured: Ricorumi “Cream”), ch 1, turn. Working in BLO, (sc in next st, ch 7, sc in same st) 9x around for 9 total petals. Sl st in ch 1 of this round to fasten off. Weave in all ends on the backside of the daisy.
Leaf/Stem
R1: Using green, (pictured: Scheepjes “New Jade”), ch 53. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 44 chains. To make the leaf at the end of the chain, work this series of stitches into the last 7 chains: sl st, sc, 2 hdc, 2 dc, 2 hdc, sc, sl st. Turning and working into the opposite side of the chain, work that series of sts again: sl st, sc, 2 hdc, 2 dc, 2 hdc, sc, sl st. Fasten off, weaving in ends.
Additional Leaves
R1: Using green (pictured: Scheepjes “New Jade”), ch 8. Sl st in 2nd chain from hook, then sc, 2 hdc, 2 dc, 2 hdc, sc, sl st. Turning and working into the opposite side of the chain, work that series of sts again: sl st, sc, 2 hdc, 2 dc, 2 hdc, sc, sl st. Sl st in “top” of leaf to fasten off.
Make as many additional leaves as desired. Do not weave in ends just yet.
Putting It All Together
Wet Blocking
I recommend wet blocking the separate parts of your bookmark before sewing them together – the daisy, the stem, and any additional leaves you’ve made to attach. Wet blocking helps relax your stitches and keep the stem from being too curly (even with blocking, I find the stem curls a bit, but not too much).
To do this, I sprayed each part of the bookmark with a water bottle and then pinned them to a small foam blocking board (see materials list for a link to what I use).
Sewing
Once your bookmark pieces have fully dried and you have unpinned them, it’s time to sew everything together.
First, place the top of the stem behind the daisy. Using your yarn needle and a length of yarn (the same yarn used to make the stem), sew the stem to the back of the daisy.
You may need to sew through the middle of the daisy’s stitches so your yarn doesn’t show on the front side. A bent-tipped yarn needle can really help with this.
Then, sew any leaves you’d like to add to the side of the stem. Use your yarn needle and the yarn ends from the leaves to sew them wherever you’d like them to be on the stem. Then weave in all ends.
And that does it! I hope you liked making your daisy bookmark. The pattern is quick enough that you can make a lot, just like I did. After getting this pattern and the sunflower version just right, I made a bunch for the ladies in my Bible study and added some of our favorite verses from our time together.
