In an attempt to get my kids a little more excited about summer reading, I came up with these crochet beachy bookmarks that included the most adorable Disney Finding Nemo and Dory buttons! A super simple pattern that could be made in any color and embellished with all sorts of buttons or charms.
Materials:
– Caron Simply Soft Yarn in Bone, Sage, and Blue Mint. You find these colors and the entire line of Caron Simply Soft at Yarnspirations.com!
– Size F Crochet Hook
– Clover Tassel Maker
– Tapestry Needle
– Disney Finding Nemo Buttons
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
Crochet Bookmark Pattern:
NOTE: Pattern does not mark color changes. Change colors at any row, making beachy stripes. Look at my pictures for inspiration 🙂
Chain 11, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn (10 SC)
Row 2-30: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Row 31: SC in first two stitches, HDC in next two, DC in next, chain 2, DC in next, HDC in next two, SC in last two, chain 1, turn
Row 32: SC in each stitch across making 2 SC over the chain 2 (this leaves an opening for your tassel). Fasten off and weave in ends.

Use your Clover Tassel Maker to make a tassel for the top of your bookmark! Full set of picture tutorial instructions come with the tassel kit!
Squirt is definitely the cutest!

Hey Sarah, I was checking out this pattern and “clicked” on the highlighted button thinking I was going to Amazon to purchase these cute Disney buttons… however, I think someone has hacked into your sight because it caused my computer to crash with warning sounds like a submarine sinking. Quite exciting here in my quiet office 🙁 Of course my co-workers were alarmed until we could get everything up and running again. Thankfully I was on my lunch hour and so acceptable in the office (the searching part..not the crashing part). Just wanted you to be aware, so perhaps it won’t happen to anyone else. :/
