Gull Wings Lace Bookmark Knitting PatternDesigned by Barbara Breiter
This knitting pattern for a lace bookmark uses a very old pattern called Gull Wings. It is a very easy lace pattern so if you've never tried knitting lace, this would be a great pattern to try.
Metallic yarn adds sparkle and creates a classy look to this easy knitting project. One skein will make 4 to 5 bookmarks, depending upon the tassel.
