My crochet corner bookmark is an easy crochet pattern. It uses a beginner-friendly combination of lacy crochet stitches.
I made two lacy triangles and crocheted them together. I chose a plain cream-colored yarn to add to the vintage feel of this crochet corner bookmark.
The yarn blocks nicely and holds its shape to show off the lacy pattern.
You can use a spray starch or PVA glue watered down to further stiffen the bookmark so it sits nicely on the corner of the book.

Choosing Your Materials
Before diving into this crochet project, gather the necessary materials.
For the Lottie Corner Crochet Bookmark, you will need a lightweight yarn in a color of your choice.

Additionally, choose a crochet hook size that complements your yarn choice, typically between 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm.
Crochet Techniques
To create your Lottie Lace corner bookmark, you’ll need to be familiar with a few basic crochet techniques.
If you’re a beginner, don’t worry! This is a beginner-friendly pattern and an excellent opportunity to practice and improve your skills.
- Slip Knot: Start by making a slip knot, which will serve as the foundation for your crochet work.
- Chain Stitch (ch): The chain stitch is one of the fundamental stitches in crochet. It forms the foundation of most crochet patterns. Practice creating chains until you feel comfortable with the technique.
- Single Crochet (sc): The single crochet stitch is commonly used in crochet projects. It creates a tight, sturdy fabric. Mastering the single crochet stitch will be crucial for this corner bookmark pattern.
- Increasing and Decreasing: These techniques involve adding or reducing stitches to shape your crochet piece. Increasing creates more stitches in a row, while decreasing removes stitches.
This is a fantastic project for crocheters of all experience levels!
Pattern Overview
There are only three easy steps for crocheting a lovely Lottie Lace Crochet Corner Bookmark!
Step 1: Start by creating a foundation chain and working the first round of stitches, following the pattern instructions. This will establish the base of the bookmark.
Step 2: Continue working subsequent rounds, following the pattern’s stitch counts and stitch placement instructions. The pattern will guide you through creating the decorative corner and shaping the bookmark.
Step 3: Complete the bookmark by fastening off the yarn, securing any loose ends, and blocking the finished piece if desired. Blocking helps to enhance the stitch definition and give the bookmark a professional finish.
Personalization and Embellishments
Once you finish the Lottie Lace free crochet corner bookmark pattern, it’s time to let your creativity shine by customizing your bookmark to reflect your personality!
While the Lottie Corner Crochet Bookmark pattern is beautiful on its own, you can add personal touches and embellishments to make it uniquely yours.
Experiment with different colors to match your personal style or add buttons, beads, small crocheted motifs, a tassel or small charm to the corner for an extra decorative touch. L
