Want to add some nature inspired whimsy to your summer reading?
Then this Leafy Bookmark is for you =)
A quick project to use up scarp fingering or lace yarn you have left over from bigger projects.

These Leafy Bookmarks are knit in the round in st st, and only take very little time to knit up. They are not overly complicated and fun to knit. They are simple, yet whimsical and make a great addition to your nature inspired outfits.

This is a written pattern, there are no charts provided.

If you use thin sock/fingering weight yarn and 2,5mm needles the finished product will end up being about 32cm long. Really you can make these with any yarn, but i do recommend using a thin yarn, as the thicker ones just don’t work well as bookmarks.

You will need only a few grams of yarn (around 4g), so it’s perfect for those leftovers from bigger projects.

Eager beginner to intermediate

• knit in the round with a small amount of sts using dpns, magic loop or two circulars
• work increases such as m1l
• work decreases such as ssk and k2tog
• how to knit stockinette stitch
• how to yarn over
• how to knit I-cord (this is explained in the pattern)
• how to cast on provisionally

This does not mean, that you have to know all of these techniques. If you know most of them, see it as an opportunity to learn something new =)

• about 4 grams of yarn
• 3 DPNs size 2.5 mm (you can also use a cirular needle to knit this).
• a stitch holder or scrap yarn to hold some sts.
• some thread, st holder cable or a circular needle for the provisional cast-on.
• scissors to cut your yarn with.
• a needle to weave in the ends.
