Crochet a Flower Bookmark

1. Creating the Flower:
   • Start with a magic ring and make the center of the flower using a few rounds of single crochet.
   • Work on the first layer of petals by chaining and slip stitching back into the center.
   • Continue adding layers of petals, each time increasing the length of the chain and slip stitching into previous rounds.
   • Use different colors of yarn to make the flower more vibrant and multi-dimensional.
2. Making the Stem and Tassel:
   • Chain a long string from the bottom of the flower to act as the stem.
   • Create a tassel by wrapping yarn around your fingers, tying it at the top, and cutting the loops at the bottom.
   • Attach the tassel to the end of the chain to complete the bookmark.
