The Twisted Crossroads Bookmark is an advanced beginner crochet pattern and a quick project, making it great for gift for your favorite reader. The pattern features the link stitch which is like the Tunisian simple stitch without the need for a special Tunisian crochet hook. If you are not familiar with this stitch, you will find my Link Stitch Tutorial on my blog helpful as you crochet your bookmark.
Below is the free version of the Tunisian Crossroads Bookmark pattern without the photo tutorial. You can also find the Twisted Crossroads Bookmark pattern with my link stitch photo tutorial included in the paid pdf in my Ravelry store.
