I saw a video of a book thong on Instagram and I knew I had to make one. These knit bookmarks are hilarious and as a fan of Fourth Wing, I wanted to make one themed after that book series. I don’t have a physical copy of Fourth Wing, so I used a hard cover copy of Game of Thrones. This book measured 6.25” x 9.5” x 1.75”. Therefore, this pattern is meant for a large, hardcover book.
