Whether you’re a devoted reptile lover or looking to add a lively twist to your reading sessions, this Book Gecko by Jonas Matthies is just what you need! The bookmark features a clever 3D design shaped like a lizard. If you put it in the book, it will look as if it has been squashed between the pages.
Is The Book Gecko Pattern Suitable For Beginners?
This pattern is perfect for amigurumi fans and those familiar with amigurumi techniques. While the middle part of the bookmark is worked flat in rows using single crochets, the gecko’s head and eyes are crocheted in rounds. Thus, you should also know how to do a magic ring as well as increase and decrease stitches.
What Yarn And Hook Size Are Recommended For This Pattern?
For this animal bookmark pattern, you need sport-weight yarn and a 2.5 mm crochet hook. The designer used Schachenmayr Catania Solids to create the sample visible in the photos, but feel free to go for any other yarn you like. If you want your handmade bookmark to be wear-resistant and hold its shape, be sure to choose cotton fibers.
How Long Is The Finished Book Gecko?
The Book Gecko measures 30 cm in length, provided you’ve worked with the recommended supplies. This way, it’s the perfect fit for most book sizes. However, if you need to make it shorter or longer, you can do so by adding or reducing rows in the body section.
