Poseidon's Trident Bookmark
This adorable bookmark design is perfect for young readers, especially for those like my daughter Isabella, who is currently captivated by the captivating world of the Percy Jackson series. Create this charming and quick project not only for your aspiring reader but also as a delightful accessory for yourself! It makes for a thoughtful gift for book lovers, ensuring they always have a beautiful marker for their latest reads.
Yarn: For this project, you'll need Knit Picks Palette, a Fingering/4 ply yarn that is 100% wool, providing both warmth and durability with 231 yards (50 grams) per skein. You will primarily use the color Calypso Heather (a lovely blue-green) for the main piece, utilizing 46.2 yards (42.2 meters) or 10 grams. For accents, gather Cornmeal (a cheerful yellow) for just 6.9 yards (6.3 meters), requiring only 1 gram.
Needles: Use small circular needles, straight needles, or long double-pointed needles (DPNs) in size US 2 (2.75 mm) for this project. Choose whichever tools you are most comfortable with!
Notions: You may find a cable needle (cn) helpful, although it is optional. Additionally, have a tapestry needle handy for weaving in your ends and ensuring a clean finish to your bookmark.
Measurements: Once completed, your bookmark will measure approximately 3.5 inches by 7 inches, making it the perfect size for any standard book.
NOTES: - Gauge is not critical for this delightful bookmark, as it’s designed primarily for enjoyment rather than exact measurements. - The instructions for this project are provided in a clear, charted pattern only. However, the chart is easy to follow, making it accessible for all skill levels. - Be sure to read through all the directions before you start knitting, as this will help you select the best method that works for your personal style.
This fun and quick bookmark project is a perfect way to encourage reading in children while expressing creativity through knitting. Ideal for gifting or personal use, this pattern will inspire not only your child's love for books but also a lasting appreciation for handmade items!
