Sorry for the inconvenience.. thanks to those who caught it!

Unable to find a delicate knit cross bookmark on the web, I decided to design one myself.
This set of crosses are knit In fingering (1) yarn but could be easily done in crochet cotton. I starched the ones I knit but it is optional.
They are both easy to make and take very little time. The most difficult part of the project is the delicate lace pattern that is worked in two sections for the horizontal part and two sections for the vertical section. Then they are stitched together and embellished.
My gift to everyone this holiday season.. may you enjoy making these wee gifts this Christmas or even for Easter. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas everyone!

The needles I used have a 12 on the ends so I guess this is about a US2.. they are very small to accommodate the lace yarn. I usually use a 3mm for my crafts but these are smaller than the 3mm.
