If you are a fan of the BBC show Sherlock, then I’m sure you’re familiar with the scene at the end of the very first episode where Sherlock is draped with a shock blanket. Well, now you can knit your very own shock blanket bookmark! Not only will it hold your place in a book, but it will give you something to hold on to as you wait for season 4! Read more about the design process on my blog.

The bookmark is a quick knit that can easily be made in an hour or two, with only 15 yards of fingering weight yarn. Each piece is knit separately and then seamed together. An optional tassel can be added to the end.
