I finished my loom knit bookmark. It was fun to make....and very simple too. I used a fine gauge rake, and ribbon yarn. Cast on 10 stitches, and knit 4 rows. On the 5th row knit the first 2 stitches, then purl across. The 6th row is knit across. Repeat these 2 rows until your bookmark measures about 5" long. Then knit 4 more rows. Now you start the tapper. Whatever end your working yarn is hanging from, move the loop from the outside peg to the next and knit off. (taking you down to 9 loops on 9 pegs) Knit across. Repeat this process until you have only one loop on the loom. Then remove and knot. Next I cut 3 pieces of ribbon yarn about 12" long, fold them in half and poke the middle of the yarn through the point on the bookmark. Tie off and trim fringe. You could add beads for a little flare if you like. This is a nice simple, easy to work up bookmark. They make great little extras in birthday cards and small gifts. ENJOY!These instructions are free for your personal use, and may not be sold for any reason.

Thanks for this simple bookmark. I have a new loom (the Kiss) and plan to try your bookmark on it... A simple project that shouldn't frustrate me too much during the learning curve--I hope! :D
