The pattern for all four of my Celtic crosses is now on sale on Ravelry – http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/celtic-cross-bookmark
My original cross.
When I used #10 crochet cotton and a 1.25mm hook (Blue cross) it came out about 4 inches high and three inches wide. (10 x 7.5 cm) However using a smaller hook will give a firmer though slightly smaller bookmark. (Red cross)
You could also try multi-coloured thread. For this I used a 1.25mm for the starting chain and a 1mm hook for the rest. I also increased the picot stitches from two to three.

I don’t have any special source. Celtic designs are all around. I started my creating designs with the book photographed in this post – https://rainbowjunkiecorner.wordpress.com/2015/04/27/i-have-a-new-obsession/ – and my celtic cross also photographed in that post. Google would probably find you something.

Love the pattern and I made a variegated cross in thread. The fine wool kept splitting!😣 The pattern for the circle needs to be (V2) x 8 though, (rather than 11) and people may need reminding to use the instruction for first V again. I will definitely be doing more Celtic patterns to satisfy the Irish in me! Lol

Eleven times worked for me but it may depend on how tightly you crochet and how tight you want the circle but glad you liked it. You might be interested in this post – https://rainbowjunkiecorner.wordpress.com/2015/04/27/i-have-a-new-obsession/ – if you haven’t seen it as there I give an idea of how to turn a celtic design into a crochet pattern.
