This little bookmark is a great gift for an engineer, a math person or just your common garden variety of geek as it uses the FIBONACCI sequence of numbers for the pattern.

It is a very basic design and a quick knit using two different colors of yarn, resulting in a striped bookmark where each section is knit according to the FIBONACCI sequence.

My bookmark was knit with sport yarn at a gauge of 7st/inch, creating a nice and firm fabric. Then again, gauge is not terribly important. Basically, you can use any yarn/needle combo resulting in a pleasing gauge. If you use fingering yarns or want a wider bookmark, I recommend casting on more stitches, though.

The FIBONACCI sequence proper goes 0-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34-55 ---. I used 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21, and got a small sized bookmark 6 inches tall and 1 inch wide. If you add the next number (34), your bookmark will be shy of 10 inches tall!

Special techniques used:
Judy’s Magic Cast On (in Knitty spring 2006 issue) for casting on
Duplicate stitch for weaving in ends
Kitchener stitch for casting off

Materials:
Scraps of two differently colored sport yarn (about 4-5 gram in total)
3 x 3 mm DPNs
Darning needle
