FREE Bookmark Knitting Patterns

Summer is here, and as some people like to make New Years resolutions, I like to have some goals in mind when vacation is getting closer.

It might seem a little counterproductive to have goals for the time when you are supposed to be resting, but for me, these last few years, since I became a mom, it’s not been that easy for me to find time to truly rest, so I have had to make strategies on how to utilize the time spent resting in a good way.

One thing I try to limit as much as possible when rest is needed is scrolling. Even if it’s so easy to end up scrolling on the phone, I know that scrolling actually doesn’t make me feel rested at all.

Finding Ways To Rest During A Vacation

So, limiting the time spent scrolling and choosing other activities instead is one of the things I try to do these weeks. One thing I have told myself that I will do is to read books. I am very happy with myself that I finished one book the firs weekend of my vacation.

Now, I need to find a new book so I can keep the flow.

One other thing that I know gives my brain some rest is doing something simple and creative. So knitting is also one of the things that I want to do this summer.

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

Here is a link to some free bookmark knitting patterns: https://www.garnstudio.com/search.php?c=bookmarks&lang=en. Last week I knitted this bookmark, which you can see in the image below.

This bookmark took me about 30 minutes to knit from start to finish. So if you are looking for something really fast and easy to knit, a bookmark might be the perfect knitting project for you.

I knitted this bookmark with three stitches of moss stitch knitting on each side, and in the middle, I used a knitting stitch that I really like, which you can find the explanation to in this blog post: https://underbartskapad.com/free-knitting-patterns-knitting-inspiration/

In the end, I chose to crochet around the edges to make the bookmark a little more sturdy.

I hope that this bookmark can give me some motivation to keep reading during this summer vacation. If you have any tips on good books I should read, let me know in the comments. And if you have any suggestions on other fast and easy knitting projects I should try, please share.

I hope that you too is having a really nice summer! And hope to see you back here soon! Many blessings from us to you
