Don't lose these patterns! 

~ Pin them to Pinterest here! ~

These bookmarks were made by me using free patterns found the web with some own changes.
The idea of making these cute little projects started by the request of a good friend of mine, who is a teacher and also a fellow crafter, but lately having not much time to crochet.

Devoted to her work and students, she thought to give small crochet surprises to her first grade students having good results and a nice behavior.

Wanting to give her a helping hand in this project, I've asked myself what would be cute, but at the same time useful for the little students, something that they will love!

These bookmarks are just a part of my surprises for her students.

2) Turtle Tales Bookmark - free pattern by Stephanie Osborne via Ravelry
Update July 2015: It seems that the designer decided to remove the pattern from Ravelry. 

Note: The turtle in the original pattern has no turtle shell, I have designed my own pattern for it! 

(See my pattern below!)

Turtle Shell Pattern by Kinga Erdem:

Note: When you change the colors in the round, carry the yarns working around the strand of other color yarn.

With green yarn make a magic ring.

Round 1: 6 sc into ring, sl st with red to top of first sc.

Round 2: Continue with red, chain 1, work 2 sc in same stitch and 2 sc in each stitch around. Sl st with green to top of first sc. (12 sc total)

Round 3: Continue with green, ch 1, work 2 sc in same stitch; with red 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc, (with green 2 sc in next sc, with red 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc) x 3 times.
