Step 1: Making the Slip Knot

To start making the bookmark, you'll need to make a slip knot. Take your yarn and create a loop, crossing the end over the main strand. Pull the end through the loop to create a knot. Adjust the size of the loop to your desired length for the bookmark.

Step 2: Chain Up Five

Next, you'll need to chain up five stitches. This will serve as the base for your bookmark. Hold the slip knot with your non-dominant hand and yarn over with your dominant hand. Insert your hook into the slip knot and pull the yarn through, creating your first chain stitch. Repeat this process four more times to complete a total of five chained stitches.

Step 3: Making the First Part of the Circle

Now, you'll begin creating the first part of the circle for the bookmark. Insert your hook into the second chain stitch from the hook and pull the yarn through, creating a loop on your hook. This loop represents your first single crochet stitch.

Moving on, insert your hook into the next chain stitch and pull the yarn through, creating a loop. Yarn over, insert the hook into the same chain stitch, and pull the yarn through again. Repeat this process until you have a total of nine half double crochet stitches in the same chain stitch.

Step 4: Making the Second Part of the Circle

For the second part of the circle, you'll continue creating half double crochet stitches. Insert your hook into the next chain stitch and make two half double crochet stitches. Repeat this process for the next two chain stitches, creating a total of six half double crochet stitches.

Step 5: Making the Third Part of the Circle

In the third part of the circle, you'll once again make two half double crochet stitches in each chain stitch. Continue this pattern until you have a total of ten half double crochet stitches in the third part.

Step 6: Repeat the Pattern

Continue repeating the pattern of making the first, second, and third parts of the circle. Each round of the pattern will start with chaining up four stitches. Follow the same process of creating single crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches, and repeating the pattern until you reach the desired length for your bookmark.

Step 7: Finishing the Bookmark

To finish the bookmark, cut the yarn and make one chain stitch to secure the last stitch. Weave in any loose ends to tidy up the bookmark.
