LacE-Bookmark Knitting Pattern "Page Turner"

"Page Turner" is a knitting pattern for a little bookmark that can be made out of any yarn scraps that you have on hand. It is worked in a leaf lace pattern (both written and charted) that reminds of a beech tree branch, the icord at the beginning being the stem.

The lace pattern is not a pattern that is suitable for knitting beginners, you should be familiar with the basics of lace knitting. But take care, these bookmarks can be addictive. They are very quickly done, it takes about one hour to make one of them. They are a great gift idea for readers who still prefer to read paper books or a nice prezzie to give to your host when you are invited somewhere. You can of course keep them for yourself as well.

There are a few samples shown in the pictures. The blue one was made out of a sport weight cotton yarn, the other two were made out of Lion Brand Vanna's Palette, those minature skeins of acrylic yarn - one skein for one bookmark. Any leftover yarn will work.

If you purchase the pattern, start knitting and (which I don't hope) get to a point where you don't know how to go on, my contact info is in the pattern. I am always happy to help. Please bear in mind that I sometimes need to sleep and don't spend all day on the internet. But I check my mails every day.

Please read below for more pattern details.
