This absolutely adorable paw print bookmark pattern is the perfect addition to your reading!

The video tutorial for this pattern can be found on YouTube here. The free version of the pattern on my blog can be found here. This low-cost PDF version can be found here on Ravelry as well as in my web shop and Etsy.

The paw print has two pieces made separately and sewn together and then a chain string and tassel are added to make it a bookmark.

There really is no gauge to this pattern, but the finished paw print is about 1 inch tall and the string is about 10 inches long. The string size is entirely customizable, so you can make it as long or short as you want.

This pattern requires knowledge of magic loops, chaining, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet stitches. I would probably classify it as an intermediate or high beginner level pattern.

You’ll need a 2mm crochet hook and about 30 yards of size 10 crochet thread and 2 yards of worsted weight yarn. The crochet thread is the paw color and the worsted weight yarn is the paw pad color, so feel free to customize the colors. You’ll also need a needle (I use a sharp embroidery needle, not a yarn needle) to weave the ends in, poly-fil or other stuffing to fill the paw print, scissors, and possibly needlenose pliers (to pull the embroidery needle through the paw print when creating the pads).

Feel free to sell finished items made with this pattern as long as you credit me as the designer and link back to my shop :)
