Product Description
I made this reading character bookmark for anyone who enjoys the Mad Hatter’s flair. The crochet stitches include, sc, hdc, dc, tr and sl st and front loop and back loop work. The pattern includes description of abbreviations and complete instructions. This is a fun bookmark for the experienced crocheter to make. It uses small amounts of crochet thread and any colors can be used so it is a great project to use up small amounts of crochet thread (28 yards being the most that is needed). Materials: bedspread weight cotton thread (size 10) 10 yards peach (or choice of skin color) 10 yards dusty rose (or choice of shirt, hat sash & teapot accent color) 14 yards burgundy (or choice of jacket color) 28 yards spruce green (or choice of pants & hat color) 5 yards cream (or choice of “Unbirthday Party" teapot and collar) 4 yards black (or choice of shoe & eye color) Small amount red (or choice of mouth color) could also use embroidery floss Uses U.S crochet terms

This is an advanced-level crochet project suitable for experienced crocheters.

- Half Double Crochet (hdc) – creates medium-weight fabric with good drape
- Double Crochet (dc) – offers lighter, more open fabric
- Treble Crochet (tr) – produces taller, airier stitches for texture variation
- Slip Stitch (sl st) – used for joining and finishing
- Front Loop and Back Loop Work – specialized techniques for dimensional effects
