This is a crochet pattern and a video tutorial for a simple heart, Valentine’s Day bookmark, worked with hook size D (3.25 mm) and 100% mercerized cotton yarn category 2. Specifically I used YarnArt Begonia. Another option is 100% mercerized cotton thread size 3.

The finished bookmark is about 12.5 inches long with a tassel and about 1.5 inch wide at widest part of the heart. This is a great project for using up small amounts of yarn — perfect as a gift or to add a handmade touch to your own books.

You can also use this little heart in many ways—as a bookmark, of course, but also to decorate gift packages, tuck into cards, embellish sachets or linen bags, or as an appliqué on pillows or other projects. It’s a versatile and fun piece to crochet, with lots of possibilities.

The pattern is written in English using US crochet terminology. The link to the video tutorial (in English) is included in the pattern.
