Halloween Boo Bookmark - Crafts for Kids

When it comes to Halloween, it is all about scaring people! You can either scare with your costumes or with your recipes. But there is a cute way to get involved in this celebration. It is decorating your house or doing Halloween crafts. There are a many sites/blogs dedicated to this.

I have been browsing around and being a crochet lover, I decided to do more crocheting than any other craft. To start with I did this simple 'Boo' Bookmark. The inspiration for this crochet is from this pattern and this pattern for letters.

But to make it simpler for kids, I combined one other pattern and finally came out with this crochet Boo bookmark pattern.



Materials :

100% cotton thread, size 10 Black and white
Steel crochet F hook
Yarn needle

Pattern:

For the Base of the bookmark, Use 'Black' color yarn

Row 1) Ch 24; dc in 4th ch from hook (first 3 chs skipped count as first dc), dc in next 20 ch: 22 dc.

Row 2 and 3) Ch 3, turn work; * dc in next dc; rep from * across: 22 dc.

Fasten off.

For the Letters, use white yarn,

Letter "B"

Rnds 2-12: Ch 1, sc in each st around, join. Stuff.
