This bookmark is a perfect pick me up for a cold wintry day and is one of those projects that gives you instant satisfaction because of it’s simplicity. The following pattern includes instructions for making the bookmark with five different colors but mixing up colors or even using more or less will make for your own unique bookmark.
It seems like 3-D is so popular these days, why not try it out in crochet as well? This stitch not only looks better in two colors, it’s also designed to be made with two. You can be a traditionalist and made the bottom of the pop out flower green, or get creative and mix and match new colors.
These instructions call for you to break off colors at each end, but weaving in all the ends is worth it to achieve this stitch!

| This doily was designed with a similar idea in mind as The Hipster Doily; using sock or fingering yarn in modern colors to update the idea of an old fashioned doily made with cotton lace weight yarns and tiny steel hooks. This doily was done in rounds of three contrasting ‘spring’ or ‘valentine’ colors and a simple dc4tog stitch. This stitch can be considered a puff stitch and is worked just like a dc2tog (what can be called a decrease in some patterns) except worked 4 dc together instead of 2!
Finished Size: Approx. 8″ (20.32 cm) in diameter

This pattern is for a throw pillow cover that will fit a 12″ x 12″ pillow, which is a common throw pillow size. You can either purchase a bare pillow and cover it with the pillow cover you make from this pattern or stuff the cover yourself with fiberfill or your chosen stuffing.
| The pictured pillow in the pattern features one color but since the back of your work isn’t going to be seen (it will be facing the inside of the pillow) you could use multiple colors without breaking off at the end of each row. Fancy this pillow cover up with three loud and large buttons, or if you would like to make a more understated cover use flat, monochrome buttons instead. |  |
