Lace Diamonds Bookmark Knitting PatternDesigned by Barbara Breiter
Bookmarks knit up very quickly. This pattern uses an easy lace pattern so it's a great way to try your hand at lace if you've never knit it before.
The metallic gold yarn adds sparkle but it would knit up nicely in any fingering weight yarn.
One skein makes 3 bookmarks.
