What a delightful idea! A crochet rainbow bookmark is a thoughtful and creative way to add a pop of color and whimsy to a favorite book. You can use bright, cheerful yarn in a gradient of colors to create a stunning rainbow effect, and add a little charm or tassel to the end for extra flair. This charming bookmark would make a wonderful gift for book lovers of all ages, or a lovely treat for yourself to brighten up your reading experience.

MAKING UP

Using the picture as a guide, sew the stars onto the top of the bookmark.

TASSELS

Cut a 10 cm length of each colour and attach to the bottom of the bookmark to its corresponding colour.

To make tassels, hold length of yarn in the centre, insert hook from front to back, hook around the centre of the yarn length, pull through so you have a loop on the hook and then bring the tails of the length of yarn from the back, under the ring and through the loop, pull to secure.
