The Escapist's Bookmark [Free Crochet Pattern]
Hello Crafties! I'm back with another crochet pattern freebie! I've always been a bookworm and recently, I've found a lot of joy getting back into the hobby. Somewhere along the way, I stitched up a lace weight bookmark to add to the experiences of my reads. Hopefully, you'll enjoy this creation as much as I have!
Tag me on your makes on Instagram @infiniticraftingco #infiniticraftingco , I'd love to see your makes!
