A crocheted bookmark has been written in my crochet ideas notebook for a long time but I could never think of what design I wanted to make. That’s when it hit me, a tea bag! I mean what goes better together with a book than a cup of warm tea? haha
This is a very simple crochet pattern that you should have no trouble making! If you would like a visual guide, I have a short video available on my YouTube channel.
If you would like to support me for making this crochet pattern available for free, you can send me a Ko-fi. Check out all of my free crochet patterns here to see my original crocheted items. I’m also on Ravelry! If you want to learn how to crochet, watch my crochet how-to video here.

Very cute. I’m thinking about making several for friends in different colors. I have a stash I’ve been reducing since the quarentine. I don’t understand why there is worsted and cotton yarn.
Michelle says
Awww, that’s sweet of you! I think they would make a cute gift for a book club. ♥
