Dainty Flower Bookmarks {Crochet Pattern}

Hullo peeps,

Since I missed June's POTM, here's your "bonus" crochet pattern for July.

I made these flower bookmarks with finger weight yarn and I lurve them.

Now if I can just keep the small humans from yanking them out of my books ...

Here's the pattern!

You'll need:
Finger weight yarn in colors of your choice (I got mine from a thrift store, so I don't have any specifics. Sorry!)
