About this pattern

For the readers: a slim bookmark with a leafy sprig climbing all the way up, little pink flowers with honey centers along the way and a simple green border.

It's 24 x 90 stitches, about 1.7 x 6.4 inches on 14-count Aida, in 4 DMC colors, and beginner friendly. The stem and leaves repeat as they climb, so it's easy to settle into a rhythm.

To finish, trim the Aida a few rows outside the border and back it with felt, or fold it over a strip of iron-on interfacing. Add a ribbon or a little tassel at the top if you like. It's the kind of small gift a book lover actually keeps using.

You get a full color chart, a black and white symbol chart, a large print version, a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF and a floss key with DMC numbers. Happy stitching, and happy reading!

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Free patterns download instantly after you join the letter on the free patterns page.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
