How do you knit a bookmark?

Answer 1

To knit a bookmark, you will want to choose yarn that is relatively thin so that the book can close completely with the bookmark inside. Next, you will want to choose a stitch pattern that lies flat. For instance, you would not want to knit a bookmark in stockinette stitch (knit a row, then purl a row) because stockinette stitch naturally curls.

Apart from those two simple rules, the sky is the limit! You may choose any stitch pattern you want (as long as it lies flat). You can make the bookmark as simple or as complicated as you like.
