Knitted Simple Bookmarks

Knitted simple bookmarks are the perfect way to add a touch of charm and warmth to your reading experience. These delightful little treasures not only keep your place in a book but also elevate the joy of diving into a good story. With just a few basic knitting skills, you can create a personalized bookmark that reflects your style and personality. Whether you choose vibrant colors or soothing pastels, each stitch exudes a sense of coziness and love that will accompany you on countless pages turned. So grab your yarn and needles, and let's embark on a whimsical journey of crafting and reading intertwined with joy and creativity!

What I used:

• About 10g of leftover yarn from one of our Scarf and Blanket knit kits (or we recommend this yarn).
• 6.00mm needles. You can get these from our website, otherwise we recommend these ones.
• Tapestry needle, like this one.
• Scissors
• Tape measure

You can use any yarn you can find, that are suitable with 6.00mm needles.

Step-By-Step

1. Cast on 6 stitches.
2. Knit until you reach 14 cm in height.
3. Cast off the first 2 stitches, then knit until the end of the row. Your knit should now look like this.
4. For the next row, cast off the first 2 stitches, then knit until the end of the row. Since we cast off 2 x 2 stitches at the beginning of each row, we are left with 2 stitches on our needle, located in the centre. Your knit now looks like this.
5. Knit the two stitches for a height of 6 cm from the last cast off, then cast off all the stitches.
6. Optional: make a tassel and attach to the end of your bookmark using a simple double knot.
