Tip (gauge)

Tip (make it right)

When making bookmarks, you should use a much smaller hook than recommended for the yarn you choose.

If there are no special notes, the bookmark is crocheted under both loops. In some rows, there are special notes: ‘into the front loop only’ or ‘into the back loop only’. In this case, you need to follow those instructions.

Tip (stitches) If you are a beginner crocheter you can see “Appendix” at the end of the pattern for reference how to crochet a particular stitch.

Tip (abbreviations) If there is a record in the brackets in the pattern, multiplied by some number, for example (3 sc, 1 inc) x 3, it means you need to repeat this action 3 times, that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc. USA/UK terminology comparison chart. Abbreviations USA ch - chain sc - single crochet hdc - half double crochet dc - double crochet tr - treble (triple crochet) dtr - double treble sl st - slip stitch

Skill levels Projects for first-time crocheters using basic stitches. Minimal shaping.

Abbreviations UK ch - chain dc - double crochet htr - half treble tr - treble dtr - double treble tr tr - triple treble sl - slip stitch

Projects using yarn with basic stitches, repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing. Projects using a variety of techniques, such as basic lace patterns or color patterns, mid-level shaping and finishing.

Projects with intricate stitch patterns, techniques and dimension, such as non-repeating patterns, multicolor techniques, fine threads, small hooks, detailed shaping and refined finishing.
