Hidamari Flower Bookmark — Crochet Pattern

Bring a little warmth of “Hidamari” (a cozy, sun-drenched spot) to your daily life. Every time you close your book, this lovely little flower rests gently in your hands, making your reading sessions or planner routines feel just a bit more special.

This is an incredibly quick and satisfying project that takes only 10 to 20 minutes to complete. Requiring just about 1 gram of yarn, it serves as the ultimate stash-buster for your precious leftover sock yarn or hand-dyed scraps!

Pattern Features
